This morning we woke up and while getting going for the day Tiffani asked if we could run to church and attend sacrament meeting. Begrudgingly we all got ready and were out the door in 15min. After the meeting I was so glad we had gone. It was the perfect start to the day. The speaker were great and the spirit was strong! Thanks Tiff for leading the way!
After church the kids wanted to go hiking, and Sarah wanted to lay in the sun, so Tiffani and I took the kids, minus Sarah (she stayed to lay out by the pool)on the Temple Quarry Rock/Black Rock hike. It was so amazing to see the size of these rocks that were hauled from the mountain to form the foundation of the St. George Temple. What desire and rive those settlers had to have had, for such a daunting job.
While we walked along the trail Jake swept his meteor stick along finding various sized magnetic rock, we saw several lizards (which scared me a few times as they scurried across the trail), we stopped to take various pictures, and viewed many beautiful plants and flowers. It was such a beautiful hike. I was so glad that we had taken the time to see this historical site. What appreciation I have for the faithful men, women, and children that took the time, and even gave their lives to move these monstrous boulders and form the foundation for this holy house!! AmAzInG is the word I would use!!
After the hike we loaded up our bag's, piled in the car and headed North, back home. This was such a fun filled Spring Break. I had so much fun and I am sure the boy's did as well. This will be a trip to remember with many fun filled memories.
