adventuring

The high school had a teacher work day today.  Yay for no 5:15 am alarm. Hannah really wanted to go to the temple and Kelly wanted to come with so we still got up early and went.  It was very nice.  They did baptism's and confirmations then took an hour to dry their hair and put on their make-up...I had time to read and understand all of 2 Nephi while I waited for them.

Just kidding.  I still don't understand it but they had fun and we took some pictures on the beautiful grounds after.

When we were done we were starving so we googled for some advice on where to eat.  Hannah found a place she wanted to try.  It's less than 5 miles from the temple...but in LA that doesn't mean it's close.  We decided to be adventurous and give it a try and it didn't disappoint.  The girls enjoyed looking out the window as we drove through Beverly Hills and Hollywood.  Also the food was really good and it had it's own parking lot where you could park for free, another treat in LA.

When we got home the girls had rehearsal.  Grace had robotics after school.

Tonight I am going to serve at the homeless shelter.  Then tonight we will have a family dinner of chicken and dumplings.  Budget recipe number 4.  Hope it's tasty.

These two also love adventuring.  They went to a Halloween concert with Papa and Grandma and I enjoyed hearing about it this morning from Gram.
