Primary activity

I got a calling in our ward to be the pianist in primary. This means I was invited to go along with the primary kids to their activity on Thursday. It was so good that I went. I mean, I sat there with a sleeping Penny the whole time. Wooo.
No, but really, it was a great activity. It was pretty simple, but the kids enjoyed it and had a fun as well as spiritually-uplifting time.
For the activity, we drove over to the Boise temple. There were three stations.
At one place, they took pictures in front of the temple.
At another station, the kids lay on a blanket while this couple from our ward told them about the temple. I didn't hear all of it, but they were talking about the pillars and how tall they are, along with other structural tidbits, as well as baptisms and other things that go on in the temple and why it's important.

Then (this is not a picture of it), they got to go inside the front lobby area and... I don't know. Probably nice temple workers came to say hi. I didn't go in. I sat by the fountain.
And then they had a snack.
It was such a simple activity, but the kiddos were all happy about it. It kept their interest and was simple but well carried out. A good activity.
And of course some pictures of my Penny. Here we were playing dress-up. I like this pictures, and I think she looks particularly Chinese in them. :)

That does sound like a fun activity. If our temple wasn't so far away I'd probably suggest it.

Congrats on getting the great primary pianist calling! That is my favorite calling in the whole wide world and I regularly campaign for it (although I know that is not the best thing to do). Keep the pictures of miss Penny coming, she's so cute!
