Temple Square

Our trip to temple square was exciting. All the children loved seeing the statue of Christ. This was the highlight of our trip. We spent quite a few hours all around temple square and if the children wern't so tired, I think we could have stayed all day. Another trip is definately on the agenda for next year. This is Emmalee, Adam and Andrew. I didn't get pictures of all the kids here, but Rebekah got her children. You'll have to ask her for a look.

This statue depicts the pioneer handcarts and the kids stood up next to the little boy pushing the handcart to see if he was "their size". It was a good hands on experience. Aren't they a good looking bunch of modern pioneers?
They all found a nice place to relax and watch the short LDS commercials.

This was Adam's favorite. It is a quarter scale model of the Salt Lake Temple. He spent quite a bit of time just looking at all the rooms and thinking. We all moved on to other displays and realized that Adam was still there looking into the temple model. I was impressed with it as well. When we got home after the week, there was a two page article in the Church News about the new display. That was fun to read about after experiencing it ourselves.

This is a replica of the carts used to haul the granite stones from the canyons to the East of Salt Lake that were used to build the Salt Lake Temple. Love, love, love history.
