After we went hiking around the beautiful Red Rocks, we went back to the condo, showered and headed for town. Tiffani and I had talked the night before about doing a special project for and with the kids. We had decided, with the kids, that it would be really fun to visit each of the temples in Utah this year, and while there take the kids pictures in front of them. We even mentioned that it would be neat to copy the pictures onto fabric and eventually make a quilt out of them for each child.
While we were in town we decided we would stop at the St. George Temple and take some special pictures. It was beautiful with the gray clouds in the sky, it made such a contrast against the bright white stone of the temple. What a special place this is, and special pictures were taken.
During our trip around town we stopped at several shops, the library (Sarah had homework), Great Harvest Bread for a yummy cinnamon roll, and even a Pawn Shop (Jake's choice, since he really likes the TV show Pawn Stars). While in the pawn shop I was looking through some movies, and Sage came and suggested a few for me, so I purchased some for us to watch later that night. Jake and Sage wanted to stop at the hardware store, Jake had an idea to make a meteor stick, since he was determined to find some meteors while hiking through the hills. Sure enough he found a sales associate that was into his idea, and she helped Jake find the perfect supplies needed for his Meteor Stick. He and Sage took off on a hike, Jackson was close behind, as soon as we got back to the condo. They did find a few magnetic rocks, and boy were they excited about them. It was so fun to see their excitement when they came back and washed and photographed each rock. Aw the joy's of a child!
Once again after dinner we popped some pop corn and all settled in to watch one of the new movies I had purchased "Step Up". It was a fun show. Great choice Sage!! Then it was off to bed. Today was a very full day, and we are all exhausted.
