Temple Walk 2012

Kids were challenged to do the temple walk, a walk of approximately 15 miles from the stake center to the temple.  The walk was supposed to represent life with its ups and downs, but we wanted them to always try to have the temple and thus our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ as their ever present and ultimate goal to be able to return to them with their family.  Not certain the kids got that out of the walk, but they sure had a good time and did a wonderful job walking!





Here is our group right before the
1st of 5 aid stations looking all
fresh, early in the morning.


Coming down the hill right before the
5th aid station still looking good!


Participants were given a number,
I think we totaled about 120 or so.


Pizza enough for all at the end!


Here is our goal--the temple


Beautiful day, beautiful San Diego temple,
beautiful Spirit!


The tired group! Had to explain to the kids
what "barking dogs" meant.


Yay!  Emi finished!



Temple Presidency spoke with all of us afterwards

Full Moon/Halloween

This is what the full moon looks
like setting at 6:00 am!



My favorite Halloween picture
of Emi with a giant rat decoration!



Tired Emi!
Can't complain too much being able
to trick or treat in shorts and flip-flops!
We did miss Kimo, who opted not to go
with us; too much homework even on
Halloween!
