The LA Temple

When we were in the car, Tam and the girls were playing a Harry Potter trivia game.

They were experts.

Me and Kev, not so much.

The girls love going to temples they've never been to before.

I got to do baptisms with them and Kevin baptized all of us.

One of the workers asked Gracie which was better, Harry Potter World or doing baptisms in the LA Temple.  She didn't even hesitate and said baptisms.

We checked out Santa Monica Pier and drove along the coast.

We arrived home late last night, but not before Gracie got stopped going through security.  She had a little bean bag that she wraps her headphone cord around and security wanted to know what was inside the beanbag.  She had no idea, maybe beans, maybe rice?  He went through her entire duffle bag and she was mortified when he picked up her underwear .  In the end he let her keep her beanbag and she and Tam got to finish watching the last Harry Potter movie on the flight home.

We have a fun weekend ahead!  Gracie's having her friend birthday party today (remember how I'm a cool mom when my kids turn 8, 12 and 16).  And then the family will gather together, in their PJ's, to watch General Conference on Saturday and Sunday.
