I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE----and wild animals TOO!

Pure Beauty....

This is an amazing Australian Christmas Tree...very unique.

The whole group!

We spent the morning at the San Diego Temple. The building is MAGNIFICENT and so is the spirit inside of the temple. The temple workers were very gracious and allowed us to look around and see the different rooms. The glass is amazing. The woodwork and design are unique. My favorite architectural design was the free standing spiral staircase that begins on the first floor and ascends the entire height of the building. It is INCREDIBLE! A mother's dream is to be in the temple with her children.....so Tuesday in the Temple was a dream.

Beautiful Jocelyn chose the elephant.

The gorilla in back doesn't have anything over Brady and Laurel.

We learned a lot on the tram tour.

After picking up Jocey and the boys from the house, we ate lunch at The Cheesecake Factory----and then drove about 40 miles to Encinitas to the Wild Animal Park. The park is a part of the San Diego Zoo, but located far away from the zoo. We were under the impression that you rode in your own car through the park. WRONG!!! If you go to this park (and I recommend that you do---it is great) plan on walking A LOT! There is a wonderful tram tour that you also take and that breaks up the walking. The landscape is much like a desert with African animals. We were nose to nose with baby lions. The animals freely walk around the hundreds of acres. It is awesome. We drove home, swam, played tennis and got out the deli meat and chips and called it a night. FUN, FUN, AND MORE FUN!!!!
