Draper Temple Open House

We went to see the Draper Temple's open house the other day as a family. Dad took some time out of work, Mom put away her projects, and the kids couldn't wait to see Heavenly Father's "House". Kallie was particularly interested. "Are we going to see Heavenly Father's bed?" she asked. Right before we went, she was speculating on whether Jesus would let us take a picture with him or not. We tried to explain to her as best as we could that they weren't going to be there, but in the end I think she was still confused as to where everybody sleeps in that house.

The inside of the temple was gorgeous. And while we had a small problem with Ben getting ahead of us, we were pretty sure it wasn't because he wanted to play hide and seek. In fact, he was very dissapointed that all of the windows were either colored or frosted.

Another downside: the temple grounds weren't yet open so there was no easy access for taking a picture outside the temple. Of course, with people this nice, a smile and a nod and the parking lot guard let us get close enough to take some decent shots. Although at that point we were out of people to take a family shot of us.
