Feb 23 -- Andy & Becky arranged their schedules so we could visit the new Latter-Day Saint temple in Draper, Utah, early Monday morning. Going to the temple is an always a sweet experience, but being able to enjoy it with the children is an unusually choice occasion.
We always made it a point to take our kids to temple open houses because they couldn't go inside until they were in the Young Men or Young Women's program, and then they couldn't see the whole temple. Of course, there weren't as many open houses years ago. We got to attend the Jordan River Temple open house when Joe was about 2, and when Manti Temple was remodeled and rededicated, we enjoyed that privilege as well. And so, this was a choice time with the grandkids.
After we were guided through the temple, we were invited to the adjacent stake center for refreshments after the temple tour, where we enjoyed cookies, beautiful paintings, peaceful piano music and a map of temples that dot the earth.
Draper Temple will be dedicated the last part of March.

I love this painting by Minerva Teichert. I am so glad you enjoyed this open house. I wish that we both could have gotten photos on a sunny day. What sweet little grandkids.
Love you lots...
