So last weekend we decided we needed to do something that got the kids out of the house and would be educational and free cause we don't have a lot of money to spend with the wedding coming up and everything :) So we figured that since the kids have been coming to church with us for the last year that it would be a good time to take them down to temple square and educate them a little about the temple because they hear us talking about going there to get "married". So we decided to make a day of it.. we drove down to Salt Lake, parked at the gateway and walked to the trax cause they have the free zone in downtown Salt Lake and the kids just think that it is so much fun to ride! So the kids had a blast on the train and then we got out and started walking around temple square and visiting the visitors centers. The kids LOVED it!!! They had so much fun going around to all the exhibits and hearing Denny and I tell them why we go to the temple to be sealed and the importance it has in our lives! Blake was a little older so I think he got a little more out of it but Caitlynn had fun to! All of the sister missionaries were so nice and had so many interesting facts that were new to all of us! We are so excited to go to the Salt Lake Temple this May and be sealed for time and all eternity and we hope that one day the kids can be Sealed to us as well. Well after a great day at the temple we rode the train back to the gateway and went and got some lunch at Applebee's ( I felt like such a horrible mom cause I didn't even realize how long we were gone and how long it had been since the kids had eaten until Caitlynn said.. 'My tummy is REALLY hungry" :( So I thought they deserved to eat out today) But hey just for the price of lunch and a dollar for parking we had an AWESOME day and I think they would love to do it again someday!
