On Monday we visited the Mesa Temple to see the Christmas lights.
With Seth (Sam's brother), McCall (Seth's wife), Krew, and Jarren.
On Tuesday morning we played at the Urban Jungle.
Krew and Douglas - Cousins
Dad flew in Tuesday night and he and I drove two hours south with Richard (Sam's uncle) and Seth to visit the recently-dedicated Tucson Temple. We had fun gospel discussions the entire drive and thoroughly enjoyed the ordinances in which we participated at the temple.

Meanwhile, back in Phoenix, Sam and McCall took the kids to visit the Children's Museum.

On Wednesday evening Dad gave an interesting and uplifting presentation on James E. Talmage to a group of friends at the home of Richard and Kelly.
Yesterday morning we took the kids to a nearby park.
"Phew! Dad, I'm exhausted."
Last night we visited the Lights of the World display in Phoenix.

I liked the gong.
