While Jared went inside to enjoy the peace within, we soaked up the sun and enjoyed the peace without. It was a gorgeous day. We walked, touched the flowers, raced barefoot in the grass, and ran up and down the stairs. The guy got to walk inside the front doors and see "where daddy went." We discussed the pictures on the walls in the entry way, and I explained to him the words above the front temple doors:
"The House of the Lord"
"Holiness to the Lord"
While at the visitor's center, the Guy enjoyed the Cristus statue message and the Book of Mormon videos on faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. If you haven't been to the visitor's center lately, go now. Stop reading and go now. :) The recent renovations are incredible. I could spend all day there!
It was an afternoon full of heaven on Earth.

I miss that gorgeous temple! I love that you are teaching Stu to be comfortable at the Temple. I noticed you protected your eyes from the sun, but the kids weren't. Do you have a hat for Elsa to protect her eyes? I never thought of your eyes when you were kids, but I do now, Just a thought. Sunglasses for Stu at the dollar store. (: Love you! Mom
I love all of these pictures! I could comment on every post, but I chose this one because I love this temple and I have been to these grounds with you and it just gives me warm fuzzies. I am glad you got to play on the temple ground! :)
