The other day we took the Cub Scouts to Temple Square. We were studying a unit on model building and there are variety of models there that they could see to help pass off badge requirements. I timed this outing for this time of year on purpose, though. I've taken them there before during Christmastime to see the lights. But this year I wanted to show them the flowers. I know flowers aren't particularly interesting to most 8-10 year old boys, but I think even they can appreciate the beauty--they just need the opportunity and a little help to take a minute to notice it.
We went in the Visitor's Center to see the model of Jerusalem. While there we decided to go upstairs to see the Christus statue. Cohen walked right up to it and just stood there and stared ... for a really long time. Then he tried to climb it. It was so cute.
