On Sunday we got to go to Temple Square. It was wonderful since we have not been there in many years. We got to see the new(ish?) Joseph Smith movie (wonderful - thanks Adi for taking our poopy cranky kid out so we could watch it), walk around the grounds, and enjoy everything as much as the 100 degree heat would allow! Here we are at the statue of the Christus. On our way down the spiral walkway Sydney kept pointing back at it. It was really cute.
She has never wanted to do this with her other stroller or with shopping carts, etc. but she really wanted to push her new umbrella stroller like she was superbaby. It kept her entertained for awhile!
I should have expected this - you can't go to Temple Square without running into someone you know. This time it was our caseworker from Arizona! It was very random, but the story is worth recording, so here we go. We sat down so that I could slather Sydney up with sunscreen before we exited the nicely air conditioned visitor's center. As I was finishing up she threw up all over her clothes. I started stripping her down (sooo grateful I had an additional onesie - thus the outfit change) and heard behind me "I know you - Devony!" I was shocked when I turned around to discover that although the woman looked vaguely familiar, I had no hope of figuring out who she was while trying to stop Sydney from rubbing her puked on clothes all over the furniture. I asked who she was and found out she was our caseworker's wife! She called him over and we had a nice little catch up session. Sydney seemed embarrassed by her lack of attire, so I finally got around to putting a shirt on the naked kid. I was so surprised that she recognized me, but very glad she did! Good thing Sydney barfed and held us up!
So beautiful.
I love all the flowers. Anyone who has not been to Temple Square should go. It's gorgeous and so peaceful.
She looks like a giant in this picture!
It was a beautiful day and we were glad we got to spend it with Adrianne and Michael! We're so glad we got to visit Salt Lake again. I forget how beautiful of a city it is until we go back. Also I really like the layout. Numbered streets are SO much easier than named! Thank you Brigham Young for your insight there!
