Temple Trip

Last weekend we were able to get away for a couple days to go to the Winter Quarters temple. We decided to made a trip out of it so we brought the girls along. I did a session in the temple Friday night, Troy did one Saturday morning and then for the rest of the day we went to the Omaha zoo which is one of the top zoos in the nation. It was amazing!!! We were there for 7 hours and still did not see everything. Of course the girls loved it. The Winter Quarters Temple was very beautiful and it had a very special spirit there. The visitors center was awesome and so was the cemetery right by the temple. Once again, I am so thankful for the pioneers and all that they did. We are grateful that this temple is only 2 hours away from us.

The girls were so good both times while waiting for us to go through the temple.
Sorry, a picture of a picture. This is what Winter Quarters looked like when the pioneers were there. On the banks of the Missouri River. The statue that is in the cemetery. This pioneer couple is standing over the grave of their baby. There was so many children buried here. One of the best parts of this zoo was their aquarium. We walked through a glass tunnel and all around us and above us was water with lots of fish, sting wray, sea turtles, and sharks.

The girls really liked the butterfly building.
