Trip to Temple Newsam

 

We went to Temple Newsam, which is a mansion built on 1500 acres, with the Elder and Sister Brinkerhoff.  There were rolling green hills, huge trees, flowers in full bloom, a pond, stables, farm, and mansion on the property.  People and families of all ages flocked to enjoy the sunshine and be in this incredible environment.

where they were needed.
