Great Saturday!

We miss our friends back home very much! Friday night we had friends call to say that they would be in the DC area. We made plans to meet them at the Washington DC Temple Saturday afternoon. It's a two hour drive for us, so we packed a few snacks and headed out the door around 11:00 am. We only brought the two girls and the two littlest boys since they only have girls. We went to This Is The Place Bookstore first and then headed over to the temple visitors center.

I watched their two youngest girls while they (the parents) went into the temple. our friends, the Potters, have a 2mo. baby girl, an 8yr girl and a 14 yr girl. In the visitors center, we watched a movie and looked at a picture display of President Gordon B. Hinkley. It was so beautiful to see his life and work all over the walls. When their parents came out of the temple we walked over to the fountain to take pictures. The little boys were so cute!

While we were at the temple we saw a family that had moved away a few months ago and a couple that goes to our church (where we live now). Every time we go to the temple we see people (mostly that we knew a long time ago) we know! I love it!

Later we went out to eat with the Potters and then said goodbye (but not for too long--we will be visiting them next month). We had such a lovely day!
