Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

The month of July has brought many wonderful adventures for our family.  But one of the best ones was attending the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House.  After a Temple is built, but before it is dedicated the LDS Church opens the doors of the Temple to anyone who would like to come tour it.  We have had the privilege in six months to tour TWO Temple Open Houses here in Utah.  January was the Draper Temple Open House and now this one.  And the January before that we toured the Rexburg Temple Open House with our family.  It has been a wonderful opportunity to let our children see inside these beautiful Temples.

After the tour they have a room outside the temple set up with refreshments and missionaries in case anyone has questions.  This is usually the kids favorite part.  But they also have some beautiful artwork as well.


The three amigos, Jessica, Ashley & John.

It is a beautiful Temple set up on a hill on the West side of the Salt Lake Valley


My wonderful family I plan to spend Forever with.  Love you guys!
