Saturday was the perfect day with just Eric and I....a long time waiting...we finally arranged for free babysitter so we could spend the day together going to the temple. It was a beautiful cool day. The best time to visit the Oakland temple is right now...Tulip Season! The flowers were so beautiful! I love the temple grounds. You can walk around the top of the temple and see the amazing view of the Bay area.
Our temple season was really wonderful. We did family names and they were siblings which was special. We were asked to be the witness couple. (First time we have ever sat by each other...so neat) This was our first session in the Oakland temple. (I know it is sad that it took us almost 4 yrs to do a session here...we have gone to the Sacramento temple and I have gone to Oakland with the Youth 3 times...we will go more often!) The Oakland Temple is so beautiful inside. We had a wonderful time at the temple!
I love these pictures of us...I had to post both because I couldn't decide which one I liked more!
After our wonderful time at the temple...we headed to eat some delicious food at "Cattlemans Steakhouse." We had Lots of delicious food...the steak was really good. We then topped it off with dessert at our friends yogurt shop. Nothing like frozen yogurt covered with fresh fruit, yummy! Eric's favorite is blueberry frozen yogurt. And it's healthy, right?
It was a much needed day with my hubby! We loved every moment together and can't wait to do it again!
Special thanks to Chris, Michelle and Peggy for helping us with the kiddos!
