Draper Temple

We had the opportunity to attend the Draper open house yesterday. The girls were so excited because this time they could actually go inside, rather then wait outside. I was so impressed with how well organized the whole process was. We met at a chapel watched a short video and then were bussed up to the temple. The bus was so exciting for the girls. They had fun watching through the window as we got closer. Sienna and Alyssa really liked the pamphlets they gave them. As we entered each room they tried to find the picture in their pamphlets, it was really cute. At the end of the tour we sat in a sealing room and that's wear a couple explained the importance of that room. Alyssa really got comfortable and managed to take her coat off and kick her boots off onto the floor. Makenzie decided she wanted to be a heard at that point, but we were able to quiet her down so that everyone could enjoy the moment. What a fun experience to go with our family together. I asked Sienna what her favorite part was and she said riding in the bus, seeing the "donkeys" (the baptismal font), and to see the sparkley lights inside the celestial room. I'm so glad we have temples so close and that we can attend them often. Steve was thinking back when he went through the Jordan River temple when he was young and he remembers going and realized that he was Sienna's age when he went.
