the morning in kirtland

We spent the morning in Kirtland the other day. It was a gorgeous day and Kirtland itself is SO pretty! We met up with some friends passing through on their way back home to MN, so we didn't want to miss the chance to see them one last time.

Here I am on the lawn.... in the background, the big white building with a porch is the Newel K. Whitney store. Not the greatest picture, but it was all I could do. (please don't look at my chubby face rolls.... thanks).

This is what Will did the entire time. Okay, not the entire time. First we saw a movie at the visitor's center, which he really liked and sat through all 24 minutes without getting squirmy. Then while our friends parents went on the rest of the tour, we played outside with our friends little boys. They ran and ran and ran.....

(this was Will's reaction when I said I was going to take his picture.... he's not too fond of getting his picture taken, silly kid.)

More running, see how pretty it is?!

The visitor's center, and the huge trees, I love it right now, everything is so green and beautiful here. The grounds at Kirtland are really amazing, they take such good care of it, it is a very peaceful place to be.

And, he crashed from the running and running and running. Surprisingly, he didn't fall asleep on the way home, but kept talking about how much he liked Kirtland and how he just wanted to go back there for a long time.
