Visiting the new Draper Temple

The kids and I ventured down to Draper to visit the new Temple. Maggie was quite excited as was Allie, but Cooper didn't really want to go too bad. We also took two neighbor girls, Kenlee and Kallie, with us. On the way down, everyone watched Old Yeller. They loved it.

As we neared our destination, Allie proclaimed that she didn't feel well. She puked. Luckily she had her blanket on her lap, which caught it all, so she didn't get dirty or smell like puke. Good thing we had wet wipes in the car.

The lines were nothing on a Wednesday at 2:40. We just walked right through and were able to pause and talk about the very beautiful temple and why we have temples. The only problem we had there was when Cooper would run on ahead of us and I couldn't yell for him to wait. Yelling in the temple might have been a problem.

As we left, I asked each child what their favorite rooms were: the celestial room--Kenlee, the baptistry--Allie, the sealing room--Maggie and Kallie, and the cookie room--Cooper. They served cookies as you left the temple in a church next door. I had to monitor the kids in how many cookies they took.

It was a great temple visit.
