Much Needed Break

After a stressful week at work and dealing with a snotty nosed kid, we decided we needed to go somewhere peaceful to relax and get well.  We got up early and headed to Valley of the Temples.

We got this cute giraffe shirt from grandpa which matched her giraffe print skirt and as I was putting it on Lexie, she told me, "I don't want to be a giraffe!  I want to be a zebra!"

We decided to ring the bell for good luck.  Lexie tried to give it a try.

She was a bit too short!

So, we rang the bell together.  She was a little shocked at how loud the bell was.

This girl can look like an angel!  So sweet and innocent!

And then pose with such attitude!

Lexie's favorite part of the temple is feeding the koi fish.

This time, she fed the doves too!

Many years ago, there was a priest who used to show people how to feed the sparrows.  Daddy and Lexie gave it a try and some sparrows flew right on to Lexie's hand.

No matter where Lexie goes, she finds a bar to practice gymnastics.  

Lexie prayed to this statue for peace and tranquility.

Walking around the temple and being in such a beautiful setting was a great way to start the day.  It helped us to relax and made us thankful for being able to spend days like this together.
