We couldn't go anywhere this weekend... Dan had to be available on Saturday to get all moved in to the new facility at work... so spontaneously we decided to have a "little adventure" that we could make work with our limited time available. Sunday at about 7:00 PM we decided to head for Logan to get 4 of the last 6 temples in our "Temple Challenge." The only 2 we have left now are Monticello and Vernal. Here we are in front of Temple #9... Bountiful.
And here we are in front of the Ogden temple. We thought they were just "remodeling"... not so much. It really looks like they are starting over!!!! It looks like it is going to be amazing! We can't wait to come back when this one is finished. Temple #10!
And by the time we got to the Brigham City Temple it was dark. We had a "security guard" take our picture. I don't think he was protecting much... maybe his 7-eleven nachos and his security flashlight... but hey, he did take a break from his nap to take our picture. Temple #11!
And finally, we arrived at the Logan Temple. We had to set up our tripod to get this shot... we briefly considered asking the young couple in the car parked near by playing tonsil-hockey to take it. But they looked busy.... Temple #12
We then headed to the Holiday Inn in Logan for the night. It started out okay... and Courtney fell asleep quickly... but just as we were starting to drift off some sort of pool cleaning system kicked on below our room and was literally shaking our teeth. It was so loud! Dan called the front desk and they offered us another room down the hall. He and I went... the kids stayed in this room. Kenna was thrilled to have her own bed and didn't mind the noise. This morning we went back in and woke them up to head home. (Dan had a 9:30 hair appointment.)
Look at that smile... that is the smile of a man who got about 6 hours of restful sleep in a hotel bed and an over-cooked piece of sausage for breakfast!
Home for a Memorial Day BBQ with some of the neighbors... bring on the Summer! Floyd Family Temple Challenge Total: 12 Temples and 2 Bonus Temples

mmmm 711 nachos. I love those. I know. I am strange.
That Logan temple sure is pretty... looks like a castle.
All the temples were so beautiful! You guys have really gone "to work" getting the temples visited. I had heard the Ogden Temple was being totally revamped (looked like the Provo Temple - hope they revamp the Prove Temple when the Payson one is finished. That style is just not attractive.) but didn't know for sure that that was being done. Well, your photo answered that question. I think it was fun that you stayed in Logan the night...and you all got your own beds! Comfy!
