Saturday is a Special Day...
While in California last week, we decided to spend Sunday visiting Jon's sister and her family. So we looked online and found the closest ward to her house - the Manhattan Beach ward. Church started at 9:00. We left Anaheim on time and found our way there with the GPS. As we were weaving through the neighborhood area by the chapel, we passed a ball field filled with teams and families of some little league sport or another. The boys expressed surprise that there was an event happening on a Sunday. I explained that in a lot of places, Sunday was just like another Saturday for people so they did things all weekend that we are used to only doing on Saturday. A few blocks later we pulled up to the chapel. It was just minutes before 9:00 but the parking lot was empty, the gates closed. We sat there stumped for a minute (cue the chirping crickets), when Tommy broke the silence. "Well, I guess Sunday really is just another Saturday here."

Haha, that's hilarious! Did you ever figure out why the church was closed? That is classic.
That is one smart boy! I'm impressed that you guys went to church on vacation... sometimes I take a 'staycation' in chicago just so i don't have to go. . .
At the next chapel we found Jon overheard something about the Manhattan Beach building being refurbished. Jon's mom has been there several times and when we told her about it said, "Good! It needed it. I've been there several times and it was stinky like an old folks home."
Heyyy, wait a minute. I'm offended when people go to Disneyland and don't call their sister that lives approx. 45 minutes away and was probably there anyway while you were there. Is this not a blog for all the sisters?
