December Temple Trip

 We try hard to make it to the Temple every month.  Since we have lived in storm lake we average about every other month

 Our Temple is the Winter Quarters Omaha temple.  It is great because there is always something to see and do while we are there with the visitor center next door.

 It is a 2 hour drive to get there but the kids are wonderful travelers and look forward to the trip.

This trip, we met another couple down there and they watched out kids for the 10am session then we came out, switched off and took there kids for the 12noon session. This picture is us taking the kids out to lunch. You can't see the babies in there car seats but the other family has twins that just turned one and we have Keagan so we were hauling around 7 kids. It was an experience.


After lunch we went back to the visitor center to see the special Christmas Display.  While we were there a group of professional bell ringers were performing.  It was so fun to watch them they let the kids come up and ring some of he bells.

The special display they had were Gingerbread houses.  People, groups, wards, and organizations had donated gingerbread houses.  This was the little gingerbread house for the kids to play in.  The bear the you see Miranda holding in the pictures is a traveling bear for her first grade class.  She had it for the weekend to go on our adventure with us.
