Draper Temple Open House

We went to the Draper Temple Open House today, we watched a short movie about temples at a chapel near by then we were bused up to the temple. Brooklyn has always wanted to ride a big bus like this, anytime she sees a school bus or a big greyhound bus she gets so excited. She thinks once she turns 5 and starts school this year that she gets to ride a bus to school, I keep telling her school is just down the street so she wont ride a bus, but she really doesn't believe me. She's going to be very disappointed.
Blake looks like a little fat man in this suit, his button is about to burst. He was a pretty good boy during the tour.


Weston thought the bus was "AWESOME!", but he thinks everything is. He did think the temple was pretty but his favorite part of the trip was the free cookies at the end of the tour.
You cant really see us in this picture but you can see how beautiful the temple is. The celestial room in this temple was probably one of the prettiest celestial rooms I've ever seen. The Los Angeles temple's celestial room has always been one of my favorites, it's really beautiful but now I have another favorite. The chandelier in the celestial room is absolutely breathtaking, Brooklyn kept saying how "sparkling" it was! This was a really neat experience to go inside the temple together as a family, I'm so grateful for temples and for the feeling of peace I have when I go. We really are blessed to live in a area surrounded by temples.

Yeah you have a blog! We went to the open house on Monday and Sally (we use nicknames on our blog) was so excited that she could to inside the temple. She'll be super disappointed when they dedicate it and she won't be able to go in anymore. I love the picture of Blake in his little suit.
