this past weekend we had tickets to go through draper temple open house. we've been prepping the kids for weeks and getting them all hyped up about their first time getting to see the inside. we can see this temple from our house all the way across the valley and we're getting excited for our own to open up here at the end of the summer.
everyone had their own favorites:
megs--the brides dressing room
imac--the font
mal--seeing herself in the mirrors in the sealing rooms.
eli--the cookies and mini water bottles at the end
me--that you will move through the ordinance rooms--just like in salt lake--very cool paintings in the "telestial rooms"
matt--the size (width) of the doors (i'm not sure if it was his fav. but he's mentioned it tons since)
what a priceless experience to be all together and to have the chance to point out fun things and answer questions. to see the looks on my girls faces as they walked through the brides room and to watch isaac be enthralled with the font and baptism--his just a few months away.
definitely recommend this family outing--just bring a kelty for the youngest. if he wasn't being held (the tour was 2 hours mind you) he was trying to take off. not the best place to lose a 2 year old who snuck gum in past the "NO GUM PAST THIS POINT" sign. (we realized it when we found gum in mallory's hair in the celestial room;)

What a fun memory. I wish we would have had blogs during the Nauvoo open house. We went but I was not good about writing things down. Oh well. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks.
Hello McQueens! I hope you don't mind me peeking at your blog. This is a great picture of your family. I am glad you are doing well. Just thought I would say hello now that we have adjusted to our move.
That cracks me up, we had almost this same experience two weeks ago. What a great thing to do for the kiddos, eh? Kenzie's fav was the brides room as well, must be a girl thing. My two year old Brayden kept trying to take off in the sealing room during the presentation. Whoops! My kids also loved the shuttle ride. It was a priceless thing to do. Love your post.
