When Daddy's car dies...

you drive to LA as a family to pick up a new (used) car!

We had a great day as a family, actually. Even though we (kids & I) spent about 3 hours sitting IN our van waiting for Daddy to do business.

After the used car purchasing had been done, we headed over to the LA Temple to walk on the grounds and visit the newly re-done Visitors Center.


Each child picked out their favorite miniature statue and posed

(I secretly love that Spencer chose this Mother/Son statue...)


This is Moms favorite



Inside the visitors center they had great interactive things for the kiddos to do:




And after our tour, ended up at the Christus Statue.



Where after photo ops, the kids got a little irreverant...but the sister missionaries told us to let them go as it was sweet to see them at the statues feet. It was very sweet.
