Draper Temple Openhouse

On March 5th, we went to the Draper Temple openhouse. It was amazing! The kids were sooooo excited to go. Lindsay and Zane had a lot of questions and even more the next morning. Gavin was still kind of sick from having Croup so Dan help him most of the time. Zane did good through most of it until he got really thirsty and kept whining about getting a drink, but the drinking fountains were turned off. I asked Zane what his favorite part was and he first said, "the tunnels!" I explained to him that the tunnels are not part of the temple, we just walked through those so we weren't out in the cold until we got inside. Then he and Lindsay both said the Celestial room was their favorite. They also liked seeing the oxen around the Baptismal font. I've been to several temple openhouses, but never have they let you come into the Sealing room and sit down. It was so nice because we could explain better to the kids how we get married in the temple. Instead of them having the image of walking down the aisle. We also all really liked the cookies and water at the church afterwards.

We went to the Temple about in January I think, and Haddie thought the Font would be just her size for swimming. Silly kids. Anyhow, NO I am NOT pregnant, I don't think I am up for that. I don't know how you do it and you already have one more than me! Take Care, take lots of naps :)
