Time with cousins is the BEST

We met up with Kris, Savannah, Leif, & Finn at Temple Square this morning. The kids LOVED being with their cousins, and they humored us as we showed them around Temple Square. Here are Emily & Savannah in front of one of several fountains we saw. We all threw a penny into the fountain and made a wish. Matt tried to get his penny to land on the slope of the fountain, but failed. Zach wanted his penny to go in the water, but his penny ended up on the slope of the fountain. He cried until I gave him another penny to throw in the water. The kids spent quite a bit of time playing around this fountain.

Kate & Savannah

Leif, Eleanor, & Zoe

We went into the Visitor's Center to cool off and to look at this awesome model of the Salt Lake Temple.






Then we went back out into the heat for pictures in front of the real Salt Lake Temple. A nice man offered to take the picture, so Kris could be in the picture, too. :-)
More water to play in. We had planned to go into the Conference Center, but by this time, the kids were hot, thirsty, hungry, and ready to leave Temple Square.

Zach & Finn

They are having fun getting to know each other. They think it is so cool that they are both 5!

There was a loud cheer when we told the kids we were going to hang out at Kris' house for awhile. More cousin time!

We ate dinner with Steve & Janet before Zoe left to sleep over at "Sarah's" house and Emily & Eleanor left to sleep over at "Ava & Vivi's" house. Matt & I took Zach, Kate, & Noah to a park before getting them ready for bed.





Notice Noah's new sandals. I forgot his shoes this morning when we went to Temple Square, so we went to the Gap and lucked out finding these sandals that not only look good and fit, but they were on sale. :-)

Looks like you are having a fun time. How long are you out there for? We just came from Logan, my parents live there. The weather was perfect, and it was so pretty, and GREEN! Though, you are probably used to green. We were very impressed with it! Have a great vacation!
