On Saturday all of us went to the open house of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. We told the kids a couple of days before that that is what we were going to do and then they spent the rest of the time wondering if it was time yet. On Saturday we left a little early and went driving around and the kids thought the whole time that we were on our way to the temple. The Temple is beautiful and the view of the whole valley is spectacular. I didn't have a lot of time to admire the view but I did take a quick look and noticed that you can see the Draper Temple from where you are. It was really beautiful. The kids had a wonderful time walking around in the temple and Dallin asked a lot of questions that Jeff happily answered. Isaac's favorite part was the baptismal font. He loved the oxen and when he saw them he said he was going to get on them. I'm not sure what Dallin's favorite part was because he was talking the whole time asking questions about what happened in the rooms. I hope that they got a lot from going and remember it. I know that I remember going through the bountiful temple.
Here is us at the temple. Isaac really wanted a drink of water from the bottle he got at the refreshment tent.
While we were getting into the car I overheard one of the ushers talking to a lady and telling her that the statue Moroni got struck by lighting. I had noticed when we first got there that I noticed that one of his arms is black and now I know why.
