Last night we took the kids to the Draper Temple Open House. I had heard from a few people that the wait could be long so we went a little ahead of our scheduled time to wait our turn at the assigned chapel. We ended up only having to wait a few minutes before we were ushered into a room to see a video and then loaded on a bus to go up to the temple.When we arrived they gave us a brochure about the temple with a few pictures in it. Joseph decided this was a map and used it like one. When we went into a room he would look at the brochure to see if the room was pictured. In a way this worked because the pictures were in the order of the tour.
Joseph was also impressed with how many pictures of Jesus there were in the temple. Emily really liked the chandeliers. The two favorite spots for the kids were the Baptismal font and the Celestial Room. I have to admit those are two of my favorite rooms also.
We had to get our tickets in early January and unfortunately when the day came Josh was not feeling well. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for letting him stay with you so we could still take the other kids.
I loved going through the temple with my kids and talking to them about it. After we were through Emily said that seeing it is person was a lot better than the pictures. I agree.

What great pictures you got. We brought our camera but it was so cold and rainy, we couldn't get a good shot. It sure is a beautiful temple, isn't it? We love living here where there are so many within a short drive from our home.
