Family Temple Trip and the Zoo

WINTER QUARTERS TEMPLE




Another reason we made the trip to Kansas was for a family temple trip. Matthew was able to go to the temple with his Grandma, his mom and dad and his 2 siblings. Not only did they get to go as a family, but they got to do all, from baptism to sealings, the temple work for his both sets of Great grandparents on his Mom's side. This past year Matthew's grandma did the research to get these names temple ready and this temple trip sort of just came to gether. I know they had a good experience and hopefully it's something we can do often as a family.




While Matthew was at the temple, My sister-in-law, Elena, and I took the kids to the zoo. Unfortunately the trip was already planned before we realized the college world series was going on. We left to go to the zoo, which was only the next exit up the interstate from us, but it took us an hour and a half to get to the "zoo parking". The zoo is right next to the stadium where they play the college world series. Well, we got to the zoo, saw 2 exhibits and it was time to meet up with fam at the temple. The Omaha Zoo is pretty cool, well, at least the 2 exhibits we saw!!! Here are a couple pics.
