Mt. Timp Temple

On our way back to the SL valley after the reunion, we stopped by the Mt. Timpanogos Temple to let the kids see where we'd gotten married. It was closed because of the Pioneer Day holiday. That was good, so I didn't have to worry about interrupting any one's spiritual ponderings. But it was bad because someone was doing some work out there and we had to try to take pictures that didn't include him!

This crooked picture (thank goodness for crop tools) was taken just outside the gates. You can barely see the gray cart the worker had with him (right edge of the photo).



And this one was under a little tree just a few steps away. In a different shot in this spot, we have 5 orange cones in the picture. With this angle, we only got 2.


Then we went for a longer walk to get a shot by the temple sign. Joseph wanted to make a funny face and Sarah wanted to touch him. These are untouched, Photoshop-free pictures, folks!


Some how, Chad got an idea to get our picture taken together (eleven years, six kids and 30 pounds after the original one). I was forced from my usual spot behind the camera to right in front of it! Burn the image into your memory...this doesn't happen very often.


We worked in a visit to my dad while we were in the area. The kids think the best thing about going to Grandpa's is the treat he usually gives them. Too bad Grandpa is so far away.
