We went on Friday night to go thru the Draper Temple Open House before it is dedicated in a few weeks. My mom came with us and we had a couple of extra tickets for some friends as well. It was such a wonderful experience to go thru the temple with our family. Although Brandon and Katelyn were a little antsy at times (this is slightly understated!) we had many moments to enjoy the surroundings. Walking thru a room with some stained glass, Blake turned to me and said, "Mom, this is ........ Wonderful!" It was so sweet and sincere. I enjoyed an extra special feeling in the celestial room - a wonderful little glimpse of heaven all together there for a moment.
What an awesome experience for your family. I'd love to take our kids to a temple open house. Someday. :) Great post!
