I love to see the temple

Cory and I decided that it would be a good family night to take the kids to the Draper Temple Open house. Grace was super excited and could hardly wait to go to the "castle where princesses are married". Jaden was less than thrilled(he is that way a lot lately). After we talked about the temple for a while they were both excited and so we headed out. When we got to the church to listen to the little video before loading the bus to the temple, Grace was so excited she couldn't stop talking and Jaden was more than happy to share all of his knowledge with his little sister. Then we loaded the bus and went to the temple. It was a silent tour so every once in a while I would try to talk and explain to them but didn't get too far. They liked the baptisimal font and the brides room. Lane loved the celestial room. It was so cute to see him looking up at the high ceilings and the beautiful chandaleir. I agree with my mom that maybe he felt close to home in the temple. Then they took us in the sealing room. It is the largest of any temple on the earth and holds 70 people. We got to sit down and they closed the doors and a cute couple talked for a minute then we lifted the kids up to see in the mirrors. I was very touched at the fact that I had my 3 kids in the temple with Cory and I. I hope it happens again someday. Then we went to the chapel next door where we had a cookie and boarded the bus. I wanted a picture of us in front of the temple but we didn't get a chance after so I should of done it before. When we got back to the car the kids told me how great it was. I was thrilled. Maybe it made a lasting impression. "What was your favorite part?" I asked with great anticipation. Without hesitation, both kids replied "the bus ride to the temple, we've never been on a bus before!" Both of them have been on a bus before... so what about the temple! I give up!
