This afternoon we got to tour the Jordan River Temple which has been closed for two years. I love being able to take the children to temples, and this tour, in particular, was really good. It's not that the tour was exceptional, just that they didn't ask us to remain silent as we went, so as the children had questions, I felt like I could answer them right then, rather than put them off until we were done and forget what they'd asked. I walked with Blythe most of the way and she had great questions. We have talked about the temple, so it was nice to be able to show them where things happen. The Celestial Room was beautiful, we got to peek into the Bride's Room, and we passed several sealing rooms where we talked about their sealings to us. It was really a sweet trip and I look foward to the time when Kent and I can go into the temple with the children, not just at open houses. That's pretty soon for Brandt who turns twelve in two months.
This is the chandelier in the Celestial Room.
It's star shaped.

The blue and yellow in the carpet were the color scheme throughout the temple.
Lots of lovely blue accents in glass and carpet and furniture.
