Day on Temple Square

We live about 30 minutes from Salt Lake City and Temple Square. This is the temple where my parents were married so it is fun to show the kids and to go through the many visitor's centers, tours and exhibits that they have there. We LOVE to go, so if any family or friends ever want to come visit we'd LOVE to take you!! We LOVE visitors!

Matt spent the last week of July on a horse-packing trip so we had to come up with things to do while he was gone. On that Tuesday we decided to go to the Church History Museum. We were going to just do the morning thing since I still have nappers and I didn't want cranky kids. We had way too much fun though! In the church history museum they have a pretty new Book of Mormon kid exhibit that is very hands on and fun! (and did I mention that other than $6 parking everything is free?)

The kids had a great time making quilts, dancing, watching videos and just looking around. We always love going to the Church History Museum! We like to see the same things every time and we also enjoy finding new things each time we go.










After the museum the kids wanted to do more, but it was lunch time. I wish I had thought that we might want to stay so I could've packed a lunch, but instead we walked over to JBs for a quick bite and then kept going. We did a small tour of the Beehive House and the conference center and we always love going up to see the Christus in the North Visitor's Center. Also in this visitors center there is a MUST SEE video presentation called "God's Plan For His Family" It's tucked away a little bit upstairs by the Christus, so if any of you are ever there, ask around and watch. We have seen it a couple of times now and LOVE it every time.

I guess there was a huge hail and wind storm back in Lehi and even a little bit in Salt Lake, but somehow we missed it while in doors. Luckily we were able to avoid the storms because we had a lot of fun walking around outside. It is one of my favorite places to be both during the summer with the pretty flowers and around Christmas time with all of the lights and the nativity! We want to go back to see more! So much history! Such a special spirit! We love temple square!
