We dropped H off at one of my friends houses so we could really focus on G and our little 'field trip'. We started off at a church house and saw a short video on temples. Then we boarded a bus to take us up the hill. This could have been G's favorite part of the day.
K had to stand because the bus was very crowded.
When we got there we went through a tunnel of tents to get to the temple. I was really impressed by how organized everything was and grateful for the tents because it was a cold windy day. The long tunnel of tents led us down to enter by the baptistry where we looked at it through some big glass windows. G was happy to stop and look at the 'pool' but that is pretty much the last time he stopped. We had given him his own pamphlet and he felt like it was a map and he was on a treasure hunt. They had plastic mats on the floor that protected the carpet and guided you through the temple and he pretty much ran the entire way. I don't know that he saw much other than the mats. We had to keep calling him back cause he would bump into people (looking at the floor while he ran) and get too far ahead of us. We did stop him in the Celestial Room and I carried him and pointed out the beautiful chandeliers. He said, "Look at all the sprinkles!"
Afterward, we went to another church where they had a reception area with displays and cookies and water.
Here is a picture of us in front of the temple.
We were very glad to have the opportunity to see this beautiful temple. It was a fast tour, but K and I figured that this time was for G and we can go and take our time enjoying it after it is dedicated. I feel so very blessed to live in an area that has so many temples close by. I hope we can raise our boys to really love and cherish the temple.
