Yesterday we had the opportunity to go and visit the Draper Temple open house. It was a neat experience for our kids. We parked at a church a few blocks from the temple. Inside the church we watched a video about the history of Draper and the temple. After the presentation we loaded a bus and drove up to the temple. The colors and furniture and details are so beautiful! As we went into each room I tried to explain why it was special. I was overwhelmed with emotions as we sat in a sealing room together and we talked about the mirrors and how we go on forever. I would say it was a one of the only times my kids have been quiet for more than 5 minutes straight. Afterwards they served cookies and water. It was really nice! We took a few pictures in front of the temple. We even got a family pictures because this nice lady approached us and asked if she could take our picture. What a sweet lady!

im so jealous you got a picture! we took the camera to do it, but totally forgot till we were driving away, and the bus driver (or any passengers) wouldn't have liked it if we asked him to stop.
