Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house

We were able to go to the new Temple (in the South Jordan area's) open house yesterday afternoon. It was such a nice experience than the last one we went to back in February. First off, we went on a weekday instead of a Saturday where hundreds of other people were going cuz that's the only day they could go too. Second, the beginning, where they show you a quick video, was not at a chapel where you had to be bussed up to the temple afterwards (and chance that one has a broken down bus so you have to wait forever). Third, we did not bring the stroller for Malia to whine and cry in, and trying to get out of. I shouldn't feel this way, but I did not enjoy myself last time. It was great to be with all of the family, but it was so chaotic and crazy that I had a hard time enjoying the moment.

This is what you get when you do not bring a stroller. . . Actually she was really good in the temple, this was afterwards. It is a really pretty temple, it's right off of a major roadway, so it's amazing to drive by. The kids are a nice little touch to this shot.

Afterwards, they had a little reception area where you can ask questions, make comments and get a cookie. It's a really pretty place with pictures of Christ all over. This was our favorite.

If you haven't gone yet and would like to go, you can get tickets at this link. It is definitely worth the time.
