Fantastic Week (part 2)

Sunday we went to Kirtland to see the sites (a usual event when company comes). Pete and I stayed outside with the kids so Lisa, Derrick and mom could enjoy the tours. There is a cemetery next to the temple there where the smith twins are buried and Thankful Pratt is also buried. There was one head stone with a baby laying on top. Hallie and Jack were obsessed with this little girl and that she died. That night Hallie said the prayers on the food and blessed the little baby girl and was thankful she got to see her. It was pretty funny, in fact I was cracking up at all her prayers. It will be great once Jack starts praying for things in his own mind rather than what Pete or I tell him to pray for. Hope I can hold in the laughter, because with Hallie I couldn't!!
We found a praying mantis while waiting and all the kids were loving it! Glad we got some cute pictures of them enjoying it.

Ky wasn't really sure about it when it was one him and wanted it off just as soon and he realized it was on him.

Then kids were throwing berries into the little creek . Cuties!

Just liked this picture!
