Team Robison: I Love to See the Temple

The weekend of the 7th was not only Mark's weekend off but also Mark's dad was in town, literally. Usually he's here for work in Salt Lake, but this time he had a conference just down the street. While Elwin attended his conference, Mark and I decided to take the kids to the zoo. Matthew had such a fun time that for the last two weeks he has been saying "Like zoo," and then listing the animals from the zoo. I think he had the most fun with the polar bear. The new polar bear exhibit as a large number of viewing spots, and Matthew had fun racing back and forth to look through different windows to track the bear as it was pacing.

Elwin has interesting timing on his trips. Last time he was here, we had just gotten our grill and patio furniture, and this time he arrived just in time for our patio dining table. It was so nice to be able to sit and eat dinner outside. We are almost completely finished with our deck, so I'll post pictures soon. On Sunday, Elwin wanted to go take pictures of the Logan Temple, so we all took a little road trip. I'd never been to Logan before, though we'll hopefully be going up for a football game when my cousin makes the Utah State team. Logan is a really nice town - it has that old town feel without being rundown. We saw the Temple and the Tabernacle and then on our way back we stopped at the Brigham City Tabernacle and saw the Brigham City Temple as well. It was a perfect little road trip for a Sunday afternoon. Maybe we'll do it again, though maybe in the fall when it cools down a bit.
