We had the opportunity to go to the Draper Temple Open House on Monday, February 16, 2009. Our whole family was able to go, so it was a very special experience. We had to meet at one of the nearby churches and ride a city bus up to the temple--they had buses running constantly the whole time we were there. I believe they said that there have already been one million people go through the temple Open House--it is only open to the public from January through March. This picture was taken as we were leaving the temple, and as you can see, it was snowing!! It wasn't snowing when we got there, but by the time we left, a storm moved in.
We asked a lady to take a picture of us at the end of the tour, so we gathered everyone together real quick and got it done!! Christiaan is peeking out from behind Shiloh--he wasn't that excited about having his picture taken. :o)
We actually couldn't take any pictures inside the temple--after the tour was over, we had to walk through this really LONG tunnel that led to another nearby church where they had refreshments for everyone. Notice the cookies in Adelaide and Joseph's hands. :o) Also, notice his little vest and tie--he looked so cute.
This is a picture of Laura and Christiaan--Christiaan is enjoying his bottled water that they gave to him. That's a LOT of bottled water if a million people have gone through there!!

that is so neat that you all got to go there together. It sure looks cold there. I just built a fire as a front is moving in here today I think. Kind of windy and cold. Your group picture is really nice.
What a special experience to be able to take your whole family into the temple with you. I can't wait until we get to take our kids to the open house in two weeks!
That is so cool! When my mom was up here a couple of weeks ago, she and I went with Sara, her new baby, and Isaiah. It is such a beautiful temple! Ben and I are planning to take the kids in the next couple of weeks, and Emma is VERY excited about it!
