Hannah's Day Out

Ever since it opened just recently, I have been wanting to visit the new Portland Temple Visitors' Center.  Recently we had a free day and I thought it would be fun to all go down together.  Most of my family had other plans.  The boys took off to do boy things.  Tyler got a better offer from a friend to go see The Hunger Games.  In the end it was just me and Hannah.  I don't very often get one on one time with my kids. I should do it more often.  We had a nice afternoon together.

Although it is small, the new Visitors' Center has quite a few interactive displays.  Hannah enjoyed the Book of Mormon display.  It contains about 30 Books of Mormon in different languages.  When you open one up, it starts reading aloud in that language. We also enjoyed the interactive display on the history of the Portland Temple and playing Temple Geography.

Since we were here, we had to walk around the grounds, one of my favorite places in Portland.  It reminds me what a beautiful city we live in.

We also made a little trip to the bookstore.  Hannah has been anxious to spend her money on her own personal Hymn book. Go Figure. And finally we went out to lunch. Hannah's choice - 5 Guys.  

Those other people should all be jealous that they missed out on our fun day.
