June 2015 - Cabin Time / Temple Dedication

June 5th

It was finally time to go to the cabin!!!!  This was the first time this year and the kids were so excited to be there. We stopped off at Tee-Cee's for dinner with Mana & Karri. Melody didn't eat much there but she was really happy with her sucker, and it made the rest of the car ride more quiet too.

While we were away the kids started to work on Brag Tag activities, and decided that they wanted to make Duct Tape crafts. Mara even has a book of How-To's. So they brought all the fun tape that they bought with Mana & Karri so they could make new crafts.  Mara just loved the tape that had mustaches on it!

This is always a fun part of the cabin, watching movies!  We introduced Melody to Winnie The Pooh!

The next morning I was able to get a few fun pictures of the kids on the steps.

It was a quick trip but a fun one.  We left the next day after lunch so Melody could nap in the car.

Jaina even got in a nap too!  It's always nice when she naps.

This was a day I was really looking forward to: The dedication of the Payson Temple. They did it in 3 sessions. For all of us to participate, Pat & Xander went to the 10 am session.

Mara & I went to the 1 pm session.

The sessions were broadcast to our Stake Center so we didn't have to go far. I really loved being there with Mara and sharing in this experience with her.  I hope that she will be able to remember this event.

I was able to go to the dedication of the Mount Timpanogos temple when I was a teenager.  We were able to get tickets to attend INSIDE the temple. I will always remember that, and because of that experience I knew that was where I wanted to get married. And I did!
