On Wednesday, January 21, the kids and I went to the Draper Temple Open House. Todd stayed home feeling sick. There is not a lot of parking next to the temple so when you print off your reservations they assign you to a chapel in the area and you go there and ride a trailways bus to the temple. The kids loved being on the bus because no seat belts and we were way taller than anyone else. Because of the amount of people they have going through they don't have formal tours. You walk through the whole temple on your own and at the end they put a group of you in a sealing room and share their testimonies of the temple. Then on to the adjoining church to have cookies and water. They have heated,tented walkways from the bus drop off to the temple, from the temple to the church and then from the church to the bus pick up so you never have to walk in the cold. The only bad thing about that was that you couldn't see any of the temple grounds or get a good picture. The ones I got were taken from the bus window. The temple was beautiful. Smaller than the other ones in the Salt Lake Valley but bigger than the Twin Falls temple that we recently visited. Taryn loved the beautiful crystal chandeliers and lights that hung through most of the temple.
