Temple Open House

Richard and I took the boys and my mom to the Open House of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple in South Jordan on July 1st. We had an enjoyable tour there, and the boys were very glad that they went. I am too!

Spring Break Trip

Just before Easter, we took a trip to SLC, to spend a few days away from home. One of the places we visited was Temple Square. We took a tour of the Conference Center (can you say WOW!), and took a picture of us by the Temple. For those who know Aunt Rachelle, you'd swear she was in this picture! It really is Melanie, but could be Aunt Rachelle.

This is a beautiful fountain in the Conference Center. It is a lovely piece of artwork as well!

This is the ceiling above the fountain. I think it would make a cool quilt.

These are some beautiful flowers on Temple Square. I just love the colors and the hope of spring.

It was a little cool there, but still nicer than Cache Valley was. We enjoyed several movies, some at the Planetarium. One was "Under the Sea" on IMAX in 3D. So we got to wear these neat glasses.



Then, the kids had a race up the stairs at the Gateway. Ryan tripped, so I'm not sure who won the race. We ate some really great food at the Thaifoon Restaurant there. Melanie got to shop a whole lot (her favorite activity), and got lots of new clothes, mostly at Hollister.

We went to the top of the Church Office Building (first time for all of us), and enjoyed some really great views of the valley, including this one of Temple Square.
