Guess where we went today? It was the Draper Temple Open House! Jace was so excited to go inside the temple, knowing that he has to wait until he is twelve years old to go inside one that has already been dedicated. His favorite room was the Celestial Room. ( I got to read his journal entry about it.)
Lance carried these 2 papers with him throughout the tour and all the way home. He even took his nap with them and they are beside his bed tonight. On the way to the temple, while I was driving and holding the map with a picture of the temple on it, Lance asked if he could have the picture. I tore it off and gave it to him. He held on to it from that moment on. He also got a brochure with the same temple picture as well as some of the rooms inside the temple. His favorite room? "The water room!" (baptismal font).
The only way this trip was made possible was by Jared's parents and sister. That's her son sitting by Jace. (Right) Jared's mom carried Cami throughout the tour and I wrestled Kyle while making sure that he got to "I DO DAT!" up and down the stairs without any help unless he held people up behind him in which case led to a very frustrated Kyle.
"We're on the BUS!" Over and over Kyle repeated enthusiastically. I think this was Kyle's favorite room. We parked at a nearby church and rode a REAL BUS (!) to the temple.
I'm so grateful that we were able to be a part of this event. I hope the boys remember this in years to come, even if their favorite room was in a bus.
