Our morning started early, as we had a 7 am appointment at the temple. We gave Courtney a new scripture bag and a few other Young Women items and McKenna gave her a new outfit to wear to the temple. She wore the shirt and scarf my parents gave her on Thursday...
We arrived early so Dan could do her interview with her before we went in. She had to BE 12 before he could do the interview and complete her recommend. It was really foggy when we arrived.
But look at the sunshine now! Gotta love Southern California sunshine!!!!!
We had an amazing time in the temple and were able to complete 18 male family names and 7 female family names... and they let us take Courtney down to the cafeteria for breakfast. This temple is absolutely beautiful inside and out...
Just for the record... we will NEVER own a car that doesn't require the key in the ignition. My parents and one friend have cars like this and love them. We aren't used to it... and it was a NIGHTMARE for us. When we came out we realized that I had the "key" in my bag and that the car had been idiling for 3 HOURS! Dan had locked it before he shut the door... bad idea. ONLY at the temple could this happen and your car would still be sitting there upon your return. Unbelievable!
After heading back to the hotel and changing we headed to SeaWorld for the day....
My little penguins...
Courtney's birthday dinner....
Luckily we were able to get her some fabulous birthday cake! We didn't have any candles, but she was just happy to get some chocolate cake!!!!
We didn't take a ton of pictures because we have been here several times... but one memory I want to be sure to record, is the final show of the night. Shamu's Christmas show was incredible. What really astounded us was that it was SPIRITUAL. Not what we expected. They had the entire audience stand and sing "Oh Come Let Us Adore Him"... it was amazing. What a wonderful way to end the day and to start the Holiday Seaason.

The San Diego Temple is my favorite of the "modern" temples! It is so BEAUTIFUL! So glad you all had such a nice time there. Courtney looked adorable in her scarf!
Oh my word. I am sitting in one of my classes trying not to cry after reading the post on the temple. I love that place so much! Great choice, Courtney!
