My phone is out of memory, but if I can figure out how to fix that, I will take a picture tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>For FHE we headed over to our neighbors&#8217; house down the street. The Bishops are an awe-inspiring family. You never know what people have suffered until you learn their story. Before our dinner with them, I just judged on appearance and figured they were leading and had always led a story-book LDS life. While they are absolute saints and could easily pass for story-book heroes&#8230;boy, was I wrong about my assessment! They have passed and are passing through things I could literally not imagine going through. Abe and I left in awe and wonder at their resilience.<\/p>\n<p>We also had a great time. The kids and Abe played for hours in their pool. They keep it at ninety degrees, so no one got cold!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_2815.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8169\" alt=\"IMG_2815\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_2815-e1440480427508-768x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_2818.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-8170\" alt=\"IMG_2818\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/IMG_2818-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a>We finished off with Dairy Queen. The kids were so distracted by the Bishops&#8217; pool and magical yard full of kid attractions that they barely ate any dinner. Then it was home to de-lousify everyone before bed, hang my new picture, and (for Abe) finish up his work day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I asked Lydia what she wanted to do today, and she suggested we go to a dinosaur museum.
