When I made reservations online to visit the Brigham City open house I made it for 7:30 and printed it out. The next day Brandon pointed out to me that it was for 7:30 AM not PM! Oh my! We went anyway! We all woke up at 5:00 this morning to get ready and meet Mary & Nate there with their kids for the tour of the new temple.
The older girls loved it cause they got to miss a couple hours of school.
Baylee's and Kalyssa's favorite room was the Sealing Room. They liked seeing the altar and looking into both mirrors on the walls that symbolizes eternity. Abbee's favorite room was the Celestial Room. When we walked in there, Kalyssa whispered to me that she can feel the spirit in there.

I'm so proud of William. He was really reverent walking through the Temple. It was funny, you have to wear white covers over your shoes to keep the carpets clean, and I think it made Will feel like his feet were huge cause he over exaggerated each step up the stairs. We all kind of giggled about that.

You can't park at the temple cause they have temporary rooms set up in the parking garage where they show you and introduction video before the tour that explains the purpose of temples. They shuttle guests there in tour buses. The kids enjoyed the 5 minute ride back to our cars.

The temple was beautiful. It was a great experience for our kids to see the temple on the inside for a change, and see what they have to look forward to when they are older. :)
