Skipin' School For A Good Reason

Draper Temple

On Friday I took my 3 boys to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint's Draper Temple Open house. Chris and I went to the temple a couple of weeks ago to do some work and when we came home our boys had lots of questions about what we do there and what does it look like inside so this was a perfect opportunity to show them. The temple was absolutely beautiful and I didn't take any shots from my own camera so I just took this picture from the brochure(what was I thinking?) My children have a much better understanding of the temple now and we plan to have a family home evening lesson on Monday to answer any other questions they might have. Cade will be receiving the priesthood in July and be able to do baptisms in the temple so he was really excited to get a better perspective. This was well worth letting them miss school and grandma came along as an added bonus. We went and had Mexican food afterward and then Cade went fishing with grandpa and the other two boys went to the movie and dinner with grandma. I ran home to get Kelbi because Chris has been home with pneumonia and bronchitis but offered to take her off my hands while we went to the temple so he and I and the little miss had a nice quiet evening home together.


Buses that took us up to the temple from the church building where we watched a film about the temple.

Add mexican food and 3 Twitty boys in suits and this is what you get-craziness!

Lucky boys, I think mine would have loved it even more had I taken them out of school to go. Isn't it such a beautiful temple, not that all of them aren't.

Hey! I got your message and I've been meaning to call you. Our sealing date is on April 18th and then we are blessing Olivia on the 19th. Hopefully you guys are going to be able to make it! I will call you later on.

We did the same thing and had a great experience. It was an amazingly beautiful temple wasn't it? Loved the decor and the feelings there.
