The King Crew: a peek into the lives of the Kings
Today the kids participated in the Primary Olympics and they had a great time! It was nice that the Nursery kids were invited and Cam & Car fit right in with all the older kids who do a good job looking out for the younger kids! The first event was a steed race... Cameron was hilarious... he would stop every bit and knock the horse into each pole as he passed it... not quite sure what he was doing, but he was very serious about the race. Carolyn got the job done!
I thought this was a great shot of the kids playing the ball/volleyball. It was so hot today (over 100) so we were lathered in sunscreen and hats. Cameron wears his so low, it's a wonder he can see anything. 
Carolyn is a little under the weather (she has my cold... sorry, Car) and she was content to hang out with me most the time. Cameron on the other hand... he is all about the sports. He ran the 50 yard dash about 6 times... and that was after a few times with his "steed"! He was having so much fun and trying his hardest to run, it was so fun to watch him! Boy do I love these little kids!!!
Here are all the Gold Winners! They were happy to be eating Otter Pops!
So this summer while we were in Utah we went to Temple Square. I was hoping to get a peek into the Tabernacle so I tried one of the many doors. Carolyn tried too but it was locked. So she proceded to knock on the next, say like 7 doors... and one opened! We were able to come into the "crying room" and see through the glass the empty Tabernacle. The Sister Missionaries told us that in 20 minutes there would be an organ recitle.We decided that 20 minutes was soon enough so we took some seats and looked around in amazement. We also wondered if two - two year olds could sit for a half hour recitle. Just as it began, our nephew called to say that he and his family were at Temple Square... so after the first incredible song they allow people to leave. Much to Cam & Car's dismay we started leaving. They take you out through the crying room and Cam just kept calling "the music, the music". So I told Brett to go on ahead of me and I'll stay there with him.
So we sat in the crying room for the next song and it wasn't nearly as good... you couldn't "feel" the music and it wasn't nearly as loud. Cam kept saying, "I can't see the lady, I can't see the lady." So I tried the door back to the Tabernacle. It was locked. So we sat barely hearing the music but Cameron wouldn't leave. Then after the 2nd song the door opened and when a few people came out, I asked the kind Missionary if we could come back in. With a smile, she agreed. (She has no idea how much she made Cameron's day!)
We took our seat and Cameron proceeded to listen to the rest of the recitle, enjoying every minute of it. The best song was at the end when it was so loud it reverberated in our chest, seat & floor. Cameron LOVED it! After the recitle, he insisted on meeting "the lady". So down we went and he shook her hand and said thank you.
Cameron has such a love for music and I am happy for him! Both he and Carolyn say their favorite instrument is drums (no bias there...) but some days it is piano. I was sad find out Carolyn was so sad she missed the recitle!
Does it look like these kids are having fun!? How about the kittens! One of the women I visit for church knew I was bringing the kids over so she had them all ready to go in the house for us to "play with"! She also kept telling me to take 1 or 2 home (they have 12 kittens on their farm!) but as I told her, it couldn't be just one - it'd have to be 2... and I don't know if they'd last all the "lovin' " they would get. (Besides the fact that our 2 big dogs might want to eat them!)
