I love to see the temple...

We cut it close, but we were finally able to go to the temple open house. We thought we would chance it and take all the kiddos...it could be a disaster or it could work out, we thought it was worth the chance. After doing it, we were glad we did.
We got to the introduction part and Bode sat great through the little film they show and then off it was to stand in the LONG line. Bode and I did our laps around the temple grounds while Collin waited in line with the others. It was so funny, by the time Collin finally got to the door to go in, Bode saw and ran up and motioned his hands for us to come, it was finally our turn.


After we got in, we discovered that Bode had gone #2, Bode's #2's aren't like any other kids #2's, they are quite potent. We were like "are you serious, in the temple?" There really wasn't any restrooms to chance a little guy in and then what were we to do with the diaper if there was??? Smelly. Thank goodness we were by some really nice people (not that any of the people weren't nice) this certain family pretty much entertained our kids and were great to be behind.

I LOVED the temple, what a beautiful place it is. The spirit you feel there is amazing, even though it isn't dedicated you can feel it so strong. Just a peaceful feeling. I am so glad for the opportunity we had to take our kids to 2 temple open houses this year, really that is incredible. Cooper learned so much about the temple this year and he was so excited to go to another open house...he did get a little tired walking around, but he enjoyed it for the most part. I am grateful for the blessings and the promises I receive in the temple and I am so thankful that my family can be together forever!

The temple really is so amazing. I am rolling about the #2 incident. How fun was that? Hee hee. That seems to always happen at the worst times.
