Yesterday we had the opportunity to attend the Draper temple open house. Micaela was so excited to go inside a temple, she didn't mind me waking her up at 6:30AM to get ready. It was set up so that you park at a church building near by, watch a 12 minute movie and then take a tour bus to the temple. Micaela was impressed with her first bus ride in the "blue bus" they have color coded each parking lot so you get on a specific bus. Our bus really did have blue seats.
The temple majestically sits in the corner of the canyon and towers over the neighboring homes(or motels, as they are quite large). The view from the temple into the Salt Lake Valley will be beautiful when you can actually see it (too much haze).
As you walk through the temple there are so many people in a group and in other groups that you are walking by but the reverence is still amazing. Really the only sounds that you can hear are foot steps and small whispers of oohs and aahs as you go through the beautifully painted ordinance rooms. The brides room was of course one of my favorites, it is a reverently fun room. You'll see what I mean if you check out the pictures on the following link.

The one sealing room we were able to sit in for a few minutes is the largest sealing room in the temple and we were told it is the largest sealing room of all the temples.
It was so great to have my little family inside taking in the beauty of the temple together.
