Making the Temple Right at the Buzzer

We finally got it together enough as a family to go the Draper Temple Open House on Friday evening. Kristin had gone with the YW/YM on Wednesday. They had left at 6:30 and had arrived back home at 10:30 so we decided to try another strategy. We got to the Draper Temple grounds right before 9:00pm, before they stopped letting people in. We even parked in the parking lot up front. We walked right in and walked around with no lines.

Here we are watching the little movie at the beginning. Notice the lack of crowds?
I think McCoy and Samantha loved the cookies the best! And they had these cool little water bottles!


Families can be frozen together!

The open house ended today. Tessa went with the YW on Wednesday and after it took 4 hours she decided to hang out with friends instead.

I am happy the whole family had the opportnity to tour the temple. And that was a smart idea to go at the end and walk right in. Someone is thinking outside of the box.

Great thinking, don't you love when there are no crowds and you get to enjoy without people pushing you through.

We didn't make it to see the temple... I wish we had. It looks so beautiful. What a great experience!

Glad you got to go. The are closing the Atlanta temple in June for renovations. They will have to rededicate it. We'll take the kids for that.
