From face palm to smile

So we have not made it to the temple in a LONG time.  Last time we went I was pregnant with Lizzie who is more than one, and we had to leave shortly after we arrived due to the need to puke.  So, it was pretty exciting to have a chance to go.  The Preston temple is an hour and a half a way, so travel means a large amount of time for a babysitter.  When we got to the temple this is what we found:

Closed for maintenance, oh yeah we did get an email about that, but since we rarely go we kind of didn't pay much attention

After we phoned my friend who was watching the kids she said, well, go enjoy your day.  So we decided to do a bit of exploring

We went Charity shop hopping and I found this outfit (I need to hem Jeans, but they fit well)

Drew scored a brand new pin striped suit fits great all for 6 pounds

There was a very loud and enthusiastic drum group with a very animated dancer if you look closely you will see him in the middle

A romantic lunch at subway 

A whole lot of loot, it ended up being a fun day, not exactly what we expected but a fabulous day 

A HUGE thank you to Angie and Eric who took care of our kids, in so much that Anna didn't want us to be back and Lizzie was passed out cold when we arrived.  We love you guys!
