We got really lucky this labor day because Troy was given the entire week off from work! If we had a little more notice we would have planned something better but it didn't really matter we were just excited to have him to ourselves for a whole week! On Friday, Mikayla had a Dr.'s appointment down town so we decided since we would already be down there we should take the kids to temple square and the church history museum. It had been a while since we had been there and it is free so we went. The kids loved it! They have a lot of interactive stuff for the kids to do and see. 
This is Sam trying out the "beds" on the boats that some of the pioneers came across the ocean on. They told us that each family had one bed for the whole family. The parents would sleep sitting up against the wall. None of my kids thought they were comfortable at all! I had to agree with them! 
Here are the kids in front of Moroni. They thought it was cool to see one up close. This was actually on top of a building back east before it was torn down and Moroni moved here. 
This is everybody practicing for when they have to speak in conference some day. I say better them then me! I would never ever want to speak in conference. 
They had fun puzzles to do and pictures to color. Sam liked the puzzles and Owen loved to color. I am learning he is quite the little artist. The kids (minus Owen who didn't want to stop coloring) decided to put on a show about Lehi's dream from the book of Mormon. 
Troy was the narrator, Mikayla was the angel, Morgan played Lehi 
and Sam was everybody else. 
Sam was so stinkin' cute!

I took this picture of the temple. It is such a beautiful building! Inside and out!On Monday we took the kids to the Bee's game with our friends Dave and Brandy. Thanks for the tickets Dave!!! They had a great time. 
Owen loved it when they actually hit the ball but was a little bored. I tried to get him to cheer for the pitcher to strike them out but he couldn't really see what was happening because it happened so fast.

We had such a good time that we stayed for the whole game! I loved spending the time as a family. I think next summer we will have to do this more often!
