Last week wasn’t too exciting; we spent most of our free
time at the park or the playground at the mall. Lennon loves the swing, he gets
so excited when he sees it and once he starts swinging he says “Yay! Yay! Yay!”
over and over again. He has learned how to climb up the stairs and go down the
slide by himself, although I usually stand next to him because it scares me. I’m
not ready for him to be growing up so fast! When he gets tired of the
playground he makes his way over to the grass where he sits and eats dandelions
(the fluffy white ones). He used to just blow on them and smile but he has now
moved onto shoving them in his mouth. I am constantly wiping white fluff off
his face and tongue, I try to stop him but I guess he likes it.
It has been pretty rainy but most days it’s still been warm,
and by warm I mean hot and muggy. I swear it’s more humid here than it was in
Florida but that’s probably just because it’s been so long since we were there.
Sunday was Kyle’s day off and we went to the Kirtland
Temple, Historic Visitor’s Center, and the cemetery next to the temple. We didn’t
go into the temple but we did walk around, the grounds were really pretty with
lots of big flower bushes and trees. At the Historic Visitor’s Center the Sister
missionaries took us on a tour of the N.K. Whitney store and home, sawmill, and
ashery. Lennon loved the sawmill, he sat at the rail and watched the water
wheel go around while we learned about the history of the place. They said it
was a reconstruction that the Amish helped to build since they still use
sawmills today.
