There has to be a few of these moments on every vacation

Our kids are pretty good at the whole going, going, going thing.  But then time comes and they hit a wall.  If we are lucky, they hit it when we are within the safe walls of the condo or our car.  We weren't so lucky this time.  We were no where CLOSE to our condo OR car.  Oh no, we were at the beautiful Temple Square, home to the very large Mormon Tabernacle Church where plenty of tourists were taking in the beautiful flowers, statues, fountains......and 3 of our children who were suffering meltdowns.  And eventually, I nearly had one too.

I had hoped to get a nice family picture because my parents have one of us in the exact same place nearly 24 years ago, if memory serves me correctly.  I did get pictures.  Aren't the flowers beautiful?

And the Mormon Tabernacle?  Yes, it's beautiful too.

The kids?  Well, the only pictures I took of them were as we were leaving the area in HASTE and they were fighting over who could push the pedal down on the water fountain.

And that was the least of their problems that afternoon.  Oh well......chalk it up to vacation expectations.....it's bound to happen.  Bummer of a place unfortunately.  I apologize to all those who had to witness the arm grabbing, stern talking, foot stomping and crying that happened.  Even though there's no way you're reading this blog right now!  Still, my apologies....we looked like some of THOSE tourists!
