Kirtland Ohio

 

On the same theme .... the Grandparent trip.  We visited Kirtland Ohio on a sunny saturday.  None of us Ewings had been there before, my parents have but we hadn't.  It was fun.  

They had a bronze display up in the LDS visitors center about the life and Healing Powers of Jesus Christ, and that was really beautiful!  I am glad we got to see that while it was there.  If it comes near you go it'svery moving and really worth seeing! 

We had a nice picnic on the lawn in the sunshine and took the "abridged" tour of the homes and buildings that have been restored.  At the Whitney store after Jack's 27th attempt to grab, throw, escape and run we decided to bail and head up to the temple.  

The kids were excited to see the temple especially Dylan, he's alway wanted to go inside a temple.  I tried to explain that it's not owned by the Mormon Church and it's not being used like the other Temples but he was to excited to "see the inside."  

It was pretty cool to see how much work and love people put into their homes, the Temple, and things that were important to them.

We had a good time, looked at historical houses had a picnic, saw the Temple and tried to keep Jack from touching things!
