A couple of weeks ago we piled in the van and took a little day drip up to Vancouver, British Columbia for the temple open house. It's about a 4 hour trip (including waiting to cross the border) each way. Whenever a new temple is built, it is open to the public for a few weeks before it is formally dedicated for worship. It's a great opportunity see the beauty of the interior, learn the purpose of each of the rooms, and to eat some mighty delicious cookies at the end. The Vancouver, B.C. temple was dedicated last Sunday, May 2nd.

The kids were pretty well behaved for most of the trip. After the tour, Caleb and I went to find a potty before we headed home. While Glen and Grace waited in the hall, Grace broke into a mega tantrum. Caleb is naturally loud all the time anyway, and as we were headed out, I heard a missionary say "those are the loudest kids I have ever heard."Do we get an award for that?
I'm glad you guys got to go to that. Alan's parents went and I was wishing we could. Grace's hair is getting so long! And, yes, you should get an award for being the mother of "the loudest kids" ever. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's a toss-up as to who get the gold--you for your kids or me for Paige (aaahhh!). It's a close call!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so great about taking your kids to the temples. Way to go!
We're sorry we missed you guys! Paul got Glen's e-mail too late (we've had internet issues with the move). It would have been fun to see you again. Maybe another time!
ReplyDeleteHaha, hilarious! What a neat opportunity! We need to take advantage of that as well with the Gila Valley temple being dedicated so soon. Fun!
