Tony's First Airplane Flight

Going to Seattle for Ayden's sealing and blessing, Tony had the opportunity to fly for the first time.  He handled himself very well.  On the way there we were still worried about pain in Tony's knees, but he was able to get by OK.  On the way home he helped with his bag, and one of Sheri's.

Tony and His Turtle

After the temple we went to Country Buffet for lunch.  There was a man there, The Balloon Doctor he called himself.  He made Tony a balloon.  Tony was cute with his Ninja Turtle balloon, even putting him in a seatbelt in the car.  Many people wanted to comment in the airport.  He is still standing, but one hand has lost some air and the sword will no longer stay strait.

East Santa Clara Street: San Jose

For a local training I went past the bus stop for the Learning Center, and took a few pictures along the way back.  My goal was to score some pancakes at McDonalds.

Seattle Temple In Bellevue, Ayden's Sealing

Visited Seattle Temple for the first time last Saturday for Ayden's sealing to her parents.  It was a special day.  Ayden was beautiful, and Miranda, my youngest daughter was her escort.  Miranda wore white and held Ayden on the alter.  It was nice.  Ty and Natalia also looked terrific, and happy.
I wanted to share a few pictures of the temple.  It is a very large temple, with many sealing rooms.  We were in number 12 and I think there were a couple more.
Outside the temple they have a short path through a garden of flowering bushes.  There are also three of the Relief Society statues.  These were created by Dennis Smith.

The gum wall, cleaned up and restarted since we were there last

 Quick trip to the Pikes Fish Market and Farmer's market.  Lots of stuff.  I visited the Native American store and looked at lots of stuff, and bought a flute.  There was a painted mannequin lady, and lots of other stuff to look at.  A great view from the Senior Center garden.
