This last weekend since it was longer one with Monday being a holiday we decided to take trip down to Mesa/Gilbert area to visit my brother and to attend the
Gilbert Arizona LDS temple open house. It was nice to be only 6 hours away instead of 11 and half hours away. We left around 11:30 am and it took awhile to get out of LA but once we got on the right freeway we stayed on that for over 200 miles. We remembered again why we like to drive through the night it's just easier for kids and parents.
After were way into our drive our kids were getting bored and hungry. I had found a box of conversation hearts in my jacket pocket. I gave everyone one heart to suck on and see who could make it last the longest. It was fun to see who made them last the longest were able to do that at least five times. We stayed with Robby and LaSchelle, they were so nice to open up their house for us. We arrived Friday evening and LaSchelle wasn't feeling good but still had dinner waiting for us. Our kids were just glad to be out of the car and their cousin were glad to see them. We got up early Saturday morning to get to the Gilbert Open house we didn't have tickets, we got their about 8:15 am and got in the end of the non-ticket line. We waited for 1 hr 24 min before we got into the Stake Center to see the short film and get instruction before we go through the temple. The temple inside and out was so beautiful all the little details were amazing.
