Temple Square

Last Thursday I thought it would be fun to take the kids to Temple Square and take pictures of them in front of the beautiful flowers. I hoped that perhaps some of the pictures would be good enough to send out for mother's day. Although a sunny day, I misjudged just how cold it was going to be so it wasn't nearly as "fun" as I hoped. The kids had about a 10 picture maximum before they were ready to go indoors - none of which turned out all that great. I might have to try again next week when it gets warmer. It's so beautiful this time of year on temple square I don't mind going twice..

I seem to have very few pictures of me with my kids. The ones that I do have aren't the greatest. So, when I find a picture that I like of me I want it to be great of the kids too. Unfortunately, this one wasn't the greatest of Ian. He must be shaking his head or something to get a mouth like that. So I photoshopped Ian's head from the picture below to try and make it at least decent. I think I need to shrink his head a little more in the updated picture but it did the trick - at least for a new profile picture on facebook :).

Here the kids are still enjoying their time at Temple Square in the freezing temperatures. And the picture below is about 5 minutes later. . . Not so much fun anymore.

So we went to the visitor's center to get warm. By this time I was tired so we didn't stay long but we did look at all the large pictures around the room and stopped at the Christus. Amy went right up to it. Ian was a little afraid. But it was still fun to be at Temple Square with the kids.
