A Good Day

This is what happens...

When I turn my camera over to Dallas :) 

We went to the temple yesterday. It was a good day. As I was getting out of the car to go into the temple, I explained to Dallas that he needed to take pictures. I showed him how to use my camera (he won't usually touch it), and I left thinking he wouldn't even pick the thing up. Then today I was stumped on what to blog about... then I checked the camera :) He took some fun photos! The above two are my favorites :)

Yesterday really was a good day. Temple days can be hard... driving to the temple, figuring out what to do with the kids while we are there, paying for gas, food, the works. Yesterday we barely got out of town in time to make it worth it. Dallas had to take the car in to get new brake pads and then we threw some food into the cooler and got on the road. Apparently I threw the food in all to fast because I forgot the bread for the sandwiches :( We ended up going to McDonald's instead. Other than that things went perfectly. The rain stopped when we got there, the kids didn't cry or whine much, I had fun shopping with the kids and Dallas took the kids to The Grove (a state park located just behind the temple). Then Evan slept on the way home while Kiah read books and played with her toys. I couldn't be a happier mom :) Dallas took some great photos while they were at The Grove which made me happy when I turned on my camera...

Sometimes the drive up to Chicago can be a drag... but yesterday I really enjoyed the time with my family. It was so nice to be able to talk to Dallas, and not have to worry about all the things that I needed to do. Just relax. We had some nice conversations... ahh it was just nice, you know? Just what I needed before another busy week.
