The Temple -and boating

Twin Falls was quite the happenin' place... along with the crowded Air Show, we were able to attend the open house for a new LDS temple. I was very excited for the kids to walk through the temple, see the gorgeous paintings, feel the peaceful spirit there, and understand a little more about them. Anna was less than excited, so towards the end we took her out, but James and Elizabeth enjoyed the tour.


Then we took the Christensens up on their offer to enjoy their boat for the afternoon. It was serious family fun! We ALL had a blast!!!

James was so excited and proud of himself for successfully trying the kneeboard! It was GrEaT watching him hang on for a few seconds:)!


i enjoyed sneaking in a turn, too:)

Daddy opted out on the toys, and headed out for a cliff.
