Tulips, Temple and Catching up

Two weeks ago David and I had a wonderful weekend trip North to Mount Vernon, Langley BC and Bellingham. We had a couple of things we wanted to do and decided to make it a fun packed weekend. We left Saturday morning and went to the tulip festival in Mount Vernon. We got there before the crowd and picked a lovely day for touring the tulips. Most of our time was spent capturing cute pictures of Aidan in the tulips. They sure make great backgrounds for pictures. He wasn't very amused but was pretty happy throughout our time there.

We then got back in the car and headed to Langley BC to the open house for the Vancouver BC Temple for our church. When a Temple is opened they open it to the public for about a month before it is dedicated and you can tour the inside of it. The Vancouver temple was so beautiful and it was amazing to see such craftsmanship. We were so glad we went and even walking through the temple in such a big group there was a special spirit there. Aidan too must have liked it because he was quiet the entire time.After that we went to Bellingham to visit some friends, Rachel and Phil. They kindly made us dinner and let us stay with them. Aidan cooperated again and even went to bed early so we could stay up and play cards. On Sunday we got up and went to church at our old building. It was so nice to see friends that we haven't seen in so long. After church we walked around Boulevard park (one of our favorite Bellingham places) and then headed back to Seattle in time to make it for a birthday dinner at the Koenigs celebrating David and Katherine's birthdays. Overall it was a fabulous weekend and we loved going away, spending time as a family and seeing such great sights (and friends too!).
