The Draper LDS Temple

We took the kids to the Draper Temple Open House a few weeks ago. The kids LOVED it. I was really surprised. They have all asked if we can go back. We walked around, I showed Kristin where the bride and groom kneel (that was her FAVORITE room - although she doesn't want to get married in that temple, she wants to get married where "you and daddy got married".) Haley loved the baptistry - or where all the 'horses' are. They are really oxen, but she kept calling them horsies. Afterwards, they had refreshments, and artwork. It was really great. While the family was eating refreshments, I ran outside to see if I could get any photos. There were heated covered walkways set up all over, and from the angle I was at, this is as good as it got.

I didn't ever remember going through an open house of a temple before. My dad reminded me that I did go see the San Diego temple when we lived in Arizona. I remember we took a road trip to San Diego (all the youth) and I remember it being fun, but it was only after my dad told me I went, that I have ANY recollection at all of actually going to the temple...did I? Anyone? Trisha? Did we really do that? As a YW Leader now, it makes me feel horrible to only remember the fun ride and not the temple...hmmmm...
