Birmingham AL Temple

Our ward Primary had a temple trip on October 4th, and while getting the kiddos all dressed in their Sunday best, I decided to try out a ponytail on Olivia. I'm not sure what she thought about it. She's been spoiled because I haven't made her wear headbands like I did the other two girls. If I do try and put a headband on her, she has it ripped off in seconds.






I really wanted to get a family picture by the temple, so we rushed to get one before all the activities started.



I was in charge of a group of kids and there were a LOT of activities planned so it became chaotic. I didn't get to take many more pictures. There was a ward member there who took each kid's picture in front of the temple and then they got their picture at the end of the visit, so I scanned those ones on our printer and here they are. They were so happy with their little pictures!




At first all the kids sat on blankets and sang primary songs while another ward member played his guitar. Then they got to go in the waiting room and a member of the temple presidency talked to them and answered questions. Then they had a scavenger hunt, puzzle activity, made a paper temple box, ate snacks, and colored. All of us adults were exhausted by the end and couldn't wait for the parents to come and get their kids! I think the kids had a great time though.

  1. Wow! I've missed out on a ton of your posts! It was good to get caught up and see all the cute pictures. The kids are changing so much! I don't blame them for not wanting to get close to the stick bug. That is so weird and to me seems like something only from a movie. Haha! Just glancing at some of the pictures I thought Cooper was Gracie in one and Linds and Olivia looked alike with their curls and in the museum one with Lindsey peeking over I think she looks like you! I'm glad you do your blog so I can see you all! Hope you're feeling well! Love you all tons!
