For FHE last week we went to the Mount Timpanogos temple. Sadie has learned about temples in Nursery a few times and constantly points out things that look like temples to her (the organ pipe icon on the front of hymn books, the Disney castle at the beginning of every Disney movie, and pictures of actual LDS temples).
At first, Sadie was only slightly interested in the temple. She was more interested in running back and forth across these benches.
Once we pointed out the Angel Moroni statue on top Sadie was all about the temple. According to Sadie, Moroni is "cute" and "pretty". She would go to a bench and then find "awoni" again.
We did that for a while
We then moved to the big lawn in front. Sadie just ran and ran.
And hid behind a tree.
And ran.
And stopped to examine the letters on the sewer cover
And ran.
And stopped to pull bark off a tree
The only way we could get her to leave was to tell her the temple was going night-night.
(We use that trick for everything. In fact, literally, right now Daniel convinced Sadie to put away the bag of pretzel m&m's because they needed to go "nigh-night". It is only going to work for so long before she starts figuring out that inanimate objects don't need sleep.)

Haa..Haa...LOVE IT!
I bet she fell asleep quick that night!
That is awesome. Next time she comes to Provo, we're taking her to the Provo temple...
Now that Alicia told you I stalk your blog, I don't feel as weird commenting. Haha.
Anyway, she is SO big. I can't believe it. She looks so old! The last time I saw her was Alicia's wedding. Time sure flies!
Briz called the mall a temple a couple months ago. And then soon after, Home Depot. So it seems like Sadie is making good spiritual progress, at least relatively speaking.
