One Sunday afternoon, our family headed to Newport Beach to walk the temple grounds. It was really beautiful, and I just expected that my kids would immediately turn into reverent angels once we got there. To bad that I might have had to reprimand and scold them both quite a bit while we were there. But regardless, we had a great time seeing the grounds and teaching our kids about the temple.
Here is one of our not so reverent moments — but it does capture our kids as they are.
But to be honest — this is also how the kids are. They adore each other.
The temple grounds are always maintained so perfectly.
Here is Icka trying to get in.
I love that ever since, every time Icka sees a big white building, she thinks it is a temple. I am trying to show her that most temples have the Angel Moroni on top — and that is a pretty good indication that she actually has a temple in her sights.
