We love to do this. Well, I do. The kids think it's a park that they're shushed a lot at. No - they actually all really like it. We did have to grab Baby as he nearly fell (thrust himself) into the fountains several times.
While there, we found a beautiful, yellow, dead bird. We all wanted to bring it home for the freezer. (if you don't know this about us, I'll tell later) BUT, it was pretty big. And Peter decided, "If you have to die, I always say the best place is the Temple."
So we left her there.
Much to the chagrin of Ruby, who woke up crying in the night, asking about the 'girl-bird.' I convinced her it was an 'old-lady-grandma' bird and she was ready to die. After more questions about where the mama was and was the daddy at work, I reminded her of a play date today and she smiled back to sleep.
We've been several times for an evening stroll around the temple grounds. This time though, we had a funny experience that we laughed at for a while. While sitting on a bench, enjoying these amazing 'air pollution from the fires' sunsets, a girl jumped out of a car, sticker with her name on her, and asked if we were married. "Yep." (I sure as heck hope so, lady. With all these kids at the temple - I'd hate to just be dating this guy.) "I'm on a scavenger hunt and need a picture of a couple holding hands walking in front of the temple."
Done.
Who are we to stop the cyntrifical forces of FHE groups?
A few minutes later, now at the other end of the temple yard, another car pulls up and another girl with a name tag hops out. (who wants to be in an FHE group where you have to wear a name tag? That's why Central Washington, while small, is the greatest place to go to school!) Anyway, she starts walking toward us and Peter grabs my hand and yells - "Just take the picture." I think it caught her off guard. Then she says, "Oh. Uh, okay. Thanks!" Jumps back in her car and speeds off.
We're going to be famous! (hahaha)
It brought back so many funny Family Home Evenings of being single. Tag, the orange and the neck game, sardines at the Wilson's farm, skits, musical chairs with the boys being the chairs, firesides at Lion's Rock...oh, I loved those times. Anyway, I was reminded of one of my favorite little diddy's on You Tube. It's from the BYU Film Contest a few years ago. Even if you didn't go to BYU (WHICH I DIDN'T AND AM PROUD OF IT!!!) - It's hilarious. If you had any kind of Mormon Single life, you'll laugh your head off at this.
So enjoy.
(you may have to watch it a couple of times to catch all of the funny lines)

OMH! It's 20 years later and they're still pulling the same crap! Too funny. Thanks.
-It's me in Gilbert, AZ
What about the guys who pretend to be all awesome, talk about their mission, and then offer you a beer on your first date? I saw nothing about that on that video. I think if there was an idiot within a 10 mile radius, he seemed to find me.
That's for sure why I had to meet Jeff away from BYU, I would have been too busy fending off losers and would never have seen him.
