I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE

Our little family in front of the new temple
Our finished masterpieces

We were able to get tickets to the Draper Temple Open House this week. We began the week by having a fun FHE lesson on temple and building cute little temples with sugar cubes. Do you remember doing this when you were little? The kids loved it! We told them that we were going to visit the temple and they were stoked. So today we went on our tour. We had a lot of fun - it was definitely a great family activity. I don't know if the kids really cared much, but they had fun. When we asked them their favorite part Katelyn said "the water bottles at the end and the place where Jesus was baptized" uh what, I think she is meaning the baptism for the dead font? And Tate said "the bus" - you have to take a bus from a nearby chapel up to the temple. Well I guess they learned a lot and had a very spiritual experience!

I am laughing right now!! I haven't ever seen that either (the sugar cubes) but what is so funny is you are like 'remember doing that when you were little' but yet your sister has never seen that done? Did you grow up in different houses?? Ha Ha you guys make me laugh!! I'm glad you made it to the temple, it's fun!
