After hiking the volcano and a quick stop at Milne Jewelery (oh goodness how it was SO hard to make that a quick stop with daughters!) we took all the kids to see the St. George LDS Temple. Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s brother was married there, which is also the last time Mr. FR and I were there. Our kids laughed as they said, “Last time you were here was one month after you were married. Who knew the next time you came you’d have TEN kids!”
The St. George Temple is the oldest operating temple in our church and the first one built in Utah being completed in 1877. Under all that whitewash is native red sandstone like that used for the St. George Tabernacle below.
It was a nice way to end the day and calm everyone down.
I just, last night finished a book on the St. George Temple. It is simply gorgeous inside and out! We’ve been there a couple of times.
While I truly enjoyed the story of the Temple and pictures of it’s structure, the highlight of this post is that picture of Hershey! She is so adorable – more so because of the awesome do-it-yourself hair cut. Maybe I adore her because I have that same four year old here at my house? While Jig didn’t cut her own hair, she did attempt to paint her own nails.
I guess I’ve seen Hershey so much I didn’t even notice the hair! It’s pulled back in a ponytail so the “cut” pieces are all loose in the front. At least her bangs are almost grown out and it looks really good when it is all down.
Funny story: her grandpa was calling her ‘Julie Short-hair’ and she started crying saying grandpa thought she was ugly. The rest of the trip he called her ‘Julie Pretty-hair’ to make up for it!
