Touring the Draper temple

I wanted to post a picture, but most were copyrighted and there are plenty out there if you want to see it. I got tickets through my ward, and told the boys we were going Monday afternoon. Lennon insisted that he didn't want to go, and would rather stay home. We had a full day planned, and I just reminded him that the temple is the most sacred place on earth. He ended up going, and at that point insisted that he would bring his scriptures along.

As we walked through the doors, Lennon asked what was making his chest hurt. It was really sweet. He later said it was from his scripture strap. :) Both boys stood in awe in the Celestial room, and later stated that that was their favorite part of the tour. We also had an opportunity to sit in one of the sealing rooms and peer into the "eternal" mirrors. It was pretty cool. I was surprised at how much smaller the rooms were; I guess I was expecting a Jordan River-size temple. This one is quite a bit smaller.

We rode the bus back to where we parked, and Lennon told me he was glad he went. Riley was too, and it was such a pleasure to spend some time in the temple with my boys. Afterwards we stopped at Arby's for dinner. It was a lovely evening.
