Spencer sat very patiently on the bus as we went up to the temple.
We got to go to the Draper Temple open house on Tuesday night. This is a picture of us leaving and waiting in line to catch our bus back to our car. The boys loved it. None of us have been to a temple open house so it was fun to do it as a family. We first walked in and came to the baptismal font Spencer was so excited. He thought it was so cool and he said, "Come on guys lets get in the water!"
"Hang on we are going up a hill!" When we were telling the boys that we would be going to the temple and that we would go to a church and then from there we would load up on a bus that would take us up to the temple Parker replied, "I've never been on a bus before, that will be fun." We assumed he would be excited about the temple part of that, but buses are pretty cool too. When we left the house I grabbed my camera and Parker asked why I brought it and before I could answer he said, "Oh so you can put a picture of me on your blog and under it will say 'Parker helped build this temple'." He says that because when he pays his tithing he always gives money to the temple construction fund so I told him maybe his money helped build this temple. He thought that was pretty awesome!
This was a pretty good part of the night at the end where the yummy cookies were waiting. They also really liked the big map on the wall that showed all the temples around the world. Parker loves maps and was asking us what all the countries were.
I am so grateful we had this opportunity to take our kids to the temple. We got to sit in one of the sealing rooms while some temple workers explained what takes place there and then we held up the boys and we looked in the mirrors at our reflection that goes on forever. It was such a neat experience and I'm grateful we have temples on the earth.
