Make A Wish ~ Day 4

Wednesday was our day to sightsee.  I wanted to make sure and see the temple.  Temples have such a special place in my heart and testimony.  Although the temple was beautiful and I am glad we went, it was HOT!  We decided for all of us to get out and walk around the grounds but the heat hit hard on this day.  We were only out about 45 minutes and Owen's vent decided it didn't like the heat at all.  It started giving us a low peep alarm, that means Owen is not getting the needed air.  We got him into the RV and hooked back up to power, I called the RT at primary's and Lenn gets a frozen bag of chicken nuggets for the vent.  Lenn put the chicken nuggets on the vent and while we were waiting for the RT to call me back, the vent quit alarming.  Thank goodness for Lenn and the frozen chicken nuggets!!!   
Needless to say, that was the first and last outing for Owen that day.  The rest of the sightseeing for him was done from a window in the RV.  I was okay with that too!



This the the bride area behind the temple, it was beautiful.  When we got to the temple we were told that is was closed, that was okay with us, we were there to walk around and it made parking easy for Lenn!  One of the workers told us about this area and the special thing about the circle that Bentley is standing on.  It was not planned but after building this area they noticed that if you stand on this circle and face the temple your voice sounds like you are speaking in a microphone.  Of course we had to try it out and yes it was true.
 

After the temple we headed to the Air force Academy.  This is the Cadet Chapel, it was amazing inside and out.  They have different rooms for different religions, they were beautiful.  Bentley and Abby both asked "where do the Mormons go?".  It was pretty funny, being raised in a predominately LDS community our kids don't realize that it isn't the main religion everywhere.

Lenn dreaming!!!

Lenn and Bentley were so bummed when this was as close to the field as they could get.
