Sometime at the beginning of last week Robert's mom called us and asked if they could come visit. We said of course! It was nice to have a house big enough to have space to have guests whenever they want to come. So then on Saturday last week Grandpa and Grandma Draper and Great-Grandma Williams and Muffin, GG Williams dog came to visit for a few days.
It was great having them here. We did not really do anything exciting, but we had family time so the girls could play with their grandparents.
They came in late Saturday night and Sunday was a usual Sunday, church, naps, and then family time. On Monday evening we went to the Idaho Falls Temple Visit Center to view the new art exhibit that portrayed so much of our beliefs. It was beautiful and I think all enjoyed it. I know that our girls liked the painting and asked questions about it. After viewing the inside of the visitors center we let them go outside on the temple grounds and walk around. The girls LOVE to go to the temple. We try to take them to the temple grounds often to let them feel of the spirit there so they can recognize that this is one of the most sacred and special places to be. At such a young age they both already know it makes them feel wonderful and they long to be there. I hear several times a week form them that they want to go to the temple. Kenya often asks about going inside and can't wait to be 12 so that she can go inside the temple. Children truly can recognize truth and feel the love of our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ!
On Tuesday we went to the zoo. We got to look at the animals and enjoyed the cooler morning. It was fun to see the girls get so excited about all the animals because they love animals. Their attention span was not quite the same as the adults on the trip so we saw many of the animals several time while Grandma and Grandpa Draper were able to take their time looking at the animals.
The girls enjoyed dancing and putting on a show for them one day and enjoyed playing with them the other days. One of the main attractions the girls enjoyed was Muffin. Those girls love dogs and Great-Grandma was wonderful and let them pull Muffin around on a leash and man-handle her even if Muffin didn't like it.
Wednesday morning they packed up and left first thing in the morning. Thank you so much for coming!
