Another Weekend

About a year ago Jared asked his friend Nate Loveless if he would go skydiving with him. Nate said he would go skydiving when Jared could go through a session at the Las Vegas Temple. Well that day finally came.

On Friday we packed up the kids and headed to St. George. We dropped the kids off with Tabi and Kole. Jared and I went with Nate and his wife Traci to a session at the St. George temple. Then we took the kids to Pirate Island Pizza (again).

While we were at the temple Tabi and Kole took the kids to downtown St. George to play in the water.

Saturday Jared and I got up early and drove down to Las Vegas. We picked up Nate and Traci and went to the Boulder City Airport so Jared and Nate could go skydiving. It was fun to see how excited they were. Everything went so smoothly and they both had a blast.

Then after they were finished we went and did a session at the Las Vegas temple. Let me tell you that it is probably the prettiest temple I have seen so far. I think it's even prettier than Manti, which is hard to beat.

While we were in Las Vegas, Tabi and Kole took the kids to the Washington City swimming pool.

Today (Sunday) we just hung out and relaxed for most of the day, then we came home. It was such a nice weekend, and a good way to end the summer for the girls. They have had such a great summer. Neither of them are ready to go back to school.

I love the Vegas temple! I've only been there once, but I remember walking into the Celestial room thinking, "THIS is what a Celestial room is supposed to look like!"
