Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

Today we all as a family went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. Since everything that's been happening we all needed a "up-lifting" moment.

We had our reservations in the early morning and of course it rained while we were there. But it was still very nice. The night before Mike and I were prepping the kids of all the how's, where's, whys, etc. But things didn't click until we got there.

We watched the video in a tent which Hailey thought was the temple. (how cute...) Then we all went in.

It was amazing. Since we had to be silent we weren't able to answer many of the kids questions but afterwards Mason had a few which we were glad to answer. (Missionary Moment :-)

When the tour was done it was raining again....but that didn't stop us from our photo op.
See the baby bump (down)?
We had each the kids touch the wall to make a promise to not only us but themselves to come back when they were older and worthy. Mike and I pray they all make it.Mason really liked the tour. He said he wants to go to church there.

Hailey loved how everything inside was so beautiful. I agree with her on this one.

Even Lily wanted in on the promise. But our picture taking was cut short since it started to rain pretty hard. One of the staff workers seen us trying to walk fast with a stroller and 2 kids so we were offered a ride on one of those special golf carts back to our car. The kids loved it! I know crazy hair fuzzy picture (thank the rain and wind)...but we always try to take a picture of us two wherever we go to show proof when we're old and crazy and can't remember anything cool that we experienced life to it's fullest.
