Mom Walters Visit

Mom Walters came for a visit this past week and it was wonderful! It's so nice to have a friend to visit with during the day. She was so helpful with dishes, and snuggly with Kenlee. We just LOVED having her here! While she was here, there was a fall/craft festival at the lighthouse just down the road from our house. We checked out little vendors, and got to actually go inside the lighthouse.

Inside the Lighthouse.On top of the Lighthouse.This is Cedar Point, it is the largest collection of Roller Coasters in the world.

It is SO BEAUTIFUL here this time of year. (We actually have seasons.) We also got to go to Kirtland. It was so amazing. There is so much rich church history there! Here are a few of the things we saw on our tours.

The Newel K. Whitney Store.
We came to Kirtland straight from Stake Conference, which is why we are in our Sunday clothes. I knew we would be doing a lot of walking, which is why I'm wearing tenny's. Don't judge.

Inside the store.

The Revelation Room (In the upstairs of the store). There was a Missionary Couple giving us the tour, and another Missionary Couple on the tour learning how to give it, because they would be doing it soon. After his shpill about the room the Man said, "You want to touch that table don't you?" It was the original table where Joseph Smith had received revelation, translated the book of mormon, and seen visions. So I touched it. Randon told me later that his wife whispered to the other sister that they weren't actually supposed to let people touch it. I thought that was sort of funny. :)
Also up there is the School of the Prophets. I didn't get a picture, but we got to sit in there and read powerful testimonies of people who had seen God the Father there. It was a really neat experience.
The Ashery. (The sawmill was next to it but I didn't get a picture because my battery died).

I took this looking from the Ashery out. So Beautiful there!

The Temple. This was difficult for Mom and I. We had just come from a really neat place where we had felt the spirit and learned about what enormous sacrifices these people made, especially for the Temple. But it just didn't feel the same. I didn't feel the spirit here, it made me feel so sad. But it was a beautiful building that these saints with no prior experience had built because it was SO important to them.


Another day, while she was here, we went to the beach. We took lunch and chairs and just enjoyed the gorgeous weather. I stuck my feet in for about three seconds and then went back to my chair, but she enjoyed the water for awhile.

We had a super annoying seagull that would NOT go away. So we took turns chasing it.

Also, since Randon has this thing for unicorns. She made us all Unicorn hats. Pretty AWESOME! Kenlee looks absolutely adorable in hers! Love it!
