Sunday morning we woke up and started getting all of the kids dressed and the stuff packed up and loaded up in the van. Laurel attended a nearby sacrament meeting, but I hadn’t packed anything to wear to a church so we just stayed at the house and got our stuff ready. The Adam’s made us breakfast once again, this time hashed browns with crumbled bacon and scrambled eggs, topped with cheese. They like to call this “Idaho Scrambles”. It was very good and kind of reminded me of our own cheesy potatoes with sauteed onions.
Our plans for today were to hit a bunch of temples on the way home. Not to literally “hit” them but to stop and see as many temples as we felt like we wanted to see and had time to stop and see. First up was the Rexburg, Idaho temple since it was right around the corner from where the Adam’s live.
We didn’t get out of the car to walk around the grounds since we had JUST gotten in the car. But the kids were still excited to see it. 🙂
Next up was the Idaho Falls, Idaho temple:
Dinah and Chloe were asleep when we got to the Idaho Falls temple so only the older kids got to go into the visitor center. Dinah was mad when she woke up to find us stopped and the others were out of the car. We still didn’t take her in though, she was way too cranky for me to want to deal with her inside.
We saw this cute sign on our way back to the temple and I just had to take a picture. 🙂
Next we went to Brigham City, Utah. The city itself was such a cute place. I LOVED the city hall building (maybe we’ll have to visit that place again during the summer and get a picture of it). The Brigham City temple is being built right across the street from the Tabernacle there:
The Tabernacle is such a lovely building. The kids had a great time running up and down that long walk to get their wiggles out. The sign out front says they do tours in the summer time so we’ll definitely need to go back. And here is the temple:
Lastly, we stopped to see the Ogden, Utah temple. I didn’t notice the church’s website listing this one as being under construction so that kind of caught me by surprise. We couldn’t really see any of the temple so we parked on the street behind it and took a picture through the fence:
So that is the backside of the Ogden temple under construction. And that concluded our weekend trip to the north. There were several other temples that we could have stopped at, but it was getting late in the afternoon and we really wanted to get home at a reasonable hour so the kids would be able to wake up for school the next day. 🙂
