Reflections of Christ

Today my Mom, the kids, and I went to Mesa to see the Reflections of Christ exhibit at the Mesa temple visitors center. When we walked in Colin saw the Christis statue and said very loudly, " It's Jesus!! There he is!!" It was so cute. All three kids were impressed at how "big he is".

The Reflections of Christ was amazing. It's so cool to see photos depicting the life of Christ. I wish I would have been able to spend more time looking at them all but the kids weren't as impressed as I was. You can check out some of the photos at http://reflectionsofchrist.org/.

Before we left we went out to walk around the temple. Colin was really mad when I told him we weren't going in. (How do you explain a temple recommend to a three year old?) I told him that because Heavenly Father and Jesus "live" in the temple you have to act really nice inside. I told him that you have to talk to your bishop and promise that you won't yell, jump on the furniture, or crawl on the floor inside the temple and if you can't do that then you aren't allowed inside. That explanation did the trick (he knew it was more that he could do) and he didn't ask again.

After the temple we went to Seagull Books and Old Navy and found some really great deals. Then we went out to dinner with Dale who is working down there for a few days. It was a long day but we all had a lot of fun.
