There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

JULY 22, 2013: LEARNING TO BUILD THE TEMPLE

LEARNING TO BUILD THE TEMPLE
JULY 22, 2013

The afternoon of our first day, the men were called down to the stage to learn to build the temple!  It is quite an impressive thing that they do to build a facade of the Nauvoo temple on the stage.  Dad, Joseph and Benjamin all went to learn to build the temple!

The Nauvoo Temple sits on the bluff as a 
beautiful backdrop to the pageant stage.


 


Mason waits patiently
Joseph and Benjamin at the end of the rope with Dad just in front
"Heave Ho!" to pull up the temple frame

The boys also learned to put up these houses for other scenes in the pageant
One of about 8 huge light towers!

Joseph finds a "wee bit" of shade to wait until his next assignment
