I thought it would be a fun idea to take the kids to the Draper Temple open house, and why not go with their favorite cousin right?
Reservations in hand running late for our 6:00 spot we barely made it to the blue lot where we would watch a video and be bussed up to the temple. about 7:30 we finally boarded the bus. so 4 adults and 7 kids in tote (all 5 and under) headed up in a bus. we walked through the temple, or more were herded through and at as we approached the stair i asked if there was room in the elevator for us. He said yes, saving us about 30 min of walking up the stairs. (IT WAS PACKED!!!) Kailey and Spencer walked around with their brochures finding the rooms and Kailey wanted to know what each sign said. then we waited another 30 min or so to bored the bus back to our car about 9 we arrived at the chapel for some cookies (which i was unable to eat because i am not eating sugar or white flour OR eating 3 hrs before bed) we headed home! Kailey was fast asleep by the time we hit point of the mountain and carter decided maybe it is sleep time after all ( a good hour of crying while waiting for the bus)
In truth it was fun and I think the kids loved it( being with cousin is great!) Mike and Shaun could have done without, but that's them. So it took 5 hrs? 5 hours of FUN!!!
trying to get 3 kids smiling and all us looking at the camera: impossible doesnt shaun look so excited to be there?
