Temple trip

The kids in our church planned a trip to visit the Denver temple.  It's only about 45 minutes away, but they never go because they're not allowed inside yet, you need to be at least 12.  They've seen pictures of the temple and they've seen Dave and I go, so it was really special for them to be able to see it in person.
I didn't get any pictures of the full temple (sorry) but the kids did great.  They had an outside tour of the grounds, and the guide told us stories about what certain designs on the building mean.  Here's the "brides bench" turned "boys bench"
Lydia was a little young, but she really enjoyed being spoiled by all the older girls.  Those three blondes around her are all from the same family, they're adorable :)
I hope they enjoyed this trip.  I found out things that I didn't know before too, and they were pretty reverent considering we were outside on a hot wednesday morning...

Lydia looks like such a "big girl" in that last picture!

It's so fun to have these little moments with them, to let them have the great feeling that is there!
