Thursday Pennie and I took our girls to the Draper Temple Openhouse. This was a great experience for our little children because they have been outside the Temple many times, but never inside one. We parked at a Church first, watched a ten minute video about the Temple, and then rode a bus up the street to the Temple. All the girls loved the bus ride especially.
Before you enter the Temple there are brochures offered and Reagan took special interest. Each room that we visited in the Temple, Reagan would compare the room with the picture in her brochure. Her favorite room was the Bride's Room, where the bride gets ready. Kennedie and Melia held hands almost the entire time they walked through the Temple.
I can remember the experience of walking through the San Diego Temple before it was Dedicated as a teenager. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget because you can feel the Spirit so strongly, and I loved seeing the rooms that I would someday visit again when I was older. I strongly encourage friends who aren't Mormon to visit an openhouse of one of our Temples to give you an opportunity to see the different things that we hold so close to our hearts in the Temple.
