Winter Quarters Nebraska

On Friday (I know, I'm going out of order with this post) we went to the LDS Winter Quarters Nebraska temple in Omaha. It's been a few months since Jeremy and I went to the one in Anchorage, so it was nice to attend. I went in for a session (about 2 hours long) and Jeremy played with the girls outside. There was a Visitor's Center there and had a bunch of neat info on the Latter-day Saint pioneers. Then Jeremy went in for a session and I took the girls to a playground (we were COVERED in sand after that), walked around the temple grounds, and then sat in the car with the AC cranked and read books. It was a 3 hour drive each way, so it totally makes it easier to go up and back in one day. When we went to Anchorage, it was a much bigger ordeal, which usually involved a Chuck E. Cheese appeasement for the poor girls...

In front of the temple...sort of obvious I guess :)
I LOVE this photo Jeremy took of Abigail! It's so hilarious to see her try to pull that handcart!
Abbie's up further on the hill and Madeline was plucking leaves off the trees. She now collects leaves and berries and puts them in a big pile by our front door. It doesn't matter if they're dead or rotten, she'll grab all sorts. We should get a book to identify all these new species of flora - I know what a maple tree looks like and that's about it. :)
