I am loving that we live so close to my mom. She came and spent a couple of days with us before everyone had to go back to school. I love her influence on my children. It's such a blessing.
We went Downtown one day.
We've been here almost 3 months and that was the first time we had gone!
Scott has yet to go.
We walked around the new City Creek Mall. It is so beautiful.
We ate at Chick-Fil-A. and then headed to Temple Square.
I am not sure what Braden felt inside when he saw the temple and we started walking around the temple. But he felt the NEED to put his hand over his heart in every picture and he immediately took off his hat, all on his own!
It was so cute!
It doesn't quite surprise me, because his preschool teacher in Virginia told me how much respect he had when they said the Pledge of Allegiance and he always remembered to put his hand over his heart and he said the Pledge of Allegiance quite enthusiastically!
{I think he felt that same respect when we were walking around the temple last month.}
Here is proof:
...and yes the loudest little voice, that is Braden. :)
We went in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It is so beautiful in there.
I love this little sculpture of Joseph Smith.
I think I felt the same thing Braden was feeling. There is a definite and undeniable special feeling when one walks around the temple. It is hard to put it into words.
...and the flowers all over Temple Square are amazing! They are so beautiful and perfect.
Those doors are just so majestic. I love all the intricacies on them. Those craftsmen were gifted.
I hope my kids have many memories of us going to Temple Square.
Glad we got to finally visit.
