I was going through some old video footage from an external hard drive that I have. There are several hours of video of birthdays, kindergarden plays, songs, christmas’s etc. One particular spot on my video files shows our family over at the Twin Falls Temple grounds before the Temple was built. My Dad came up with a briliant idea one day to go over to the future temple site, after the official ground breaking, and do our own ground breaking. So, my Dad got out two of his shovels, painted them both gold and marched us out to the small patch of dirt that was used by the official ground breakers.

Below is our little video of our family doing our own “unofficial” ground breaking at the Twin Falls Temple.

I’ve seen a few videos lately of people that will video something every day. One video was of a kid that took a video of himself doing a flip every day for a month. Another video was a 1 second snippet of a girls day for a full year. So, in honor of these two videos, I decided to take my flip video with me every day and video something. After a little bit of thought, I decided to take a video of the Twin Falls LDS Temple. I don’t drive by the temple every day but it is close to my house and if I plan it right, I can drive past every single day. So, I took my Flip Video and filmed some snippets from each time I passed by the Mormon Temple in Twin Falls. Below is my edited movie.

Last week we went on vacation. We jumped in the car and headed down to Southern California. We decided to break up the long drive by stopping in Primm Nevada and stay overnight. We like staying in Primm because of the really inexpensive hotel rooms but nice accommodations. However, if we did this, we would have to stay all day Sunday in Las Vegas, Sin City. So, we tried to make the best of it. We got up early, got our Sunday clothes and tracked down the nearest Mormon Church that we could find. We attended Sacrament Meeting and then loaded back up in the car and tried to find the Las Vegas Temple. The weather was scorching hot. A blistering 111 degrees so we didn’t want to spend too much time out side. Nevertheless, I did take along my flip video and captured our visit.
