Today we went to Glenita's ward. The talks were on reaping what we sow. Pretty good, considering it hit me like a brick wall why Rossi was being so smart alecky lately. Man, being an example is hard. After church, we went to the San Diego temple, Glenita took pictures of us. One of my favorite pictures is this one of the kids walking the straight and narrow path along the outside of the temple. I couldn't resist taking this picture, they all look so angelic - lined up, quietly balancing along the curbing while they walked one behind the other, all in order of height! It was a perfect peaceful moment for me, until my battery in my camera went dead, then I made them all pose exactly how they were walking - they had to stand there for like 5 minutes while I figured out the dead battery problem. Man, that was annoying! But still, it was a candid moment, if not for the dead batteries. After the temple, Ross & I took a "nap" while the kids watched the Lion King on DVD in the common area of the community apartment...it was a quick one, and a much needed one. Afterwords, we went to Old Town and visited the Mormon Batalion, watched a historical film on it, that was very informative and touching. We then walked around old town a bit more. We came to a vendor selling various trinkets, Rossi really wanted a "lifelike" wooden snake from there, it was $7, we told him we'd rather not buy it because it was Sunday, and we wanted to just enjoy our little walk and not "go shopping" it was so beautiful out there! Almost beautiful enough to convince me to want to move there, but alas, reality hit when I realized what it would cost to house a family of 7 in San Diego, so I decided we're happy in Phoenix!
We did get a few chapters of the BOM in tonight. Glenita came over later & we talked for a little while, and said our goodbyes, we were going to pack & leave from the zoo tomorrow. It was awesome for her to let us stay there!
