Friday fun run

On Friday we ran down to Salt Lake and spent a day seeing LDS sights. We went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple first. What a great experience! The kids loved seeing the temple and were amazed at its beauty. What a neat feeling to stand in the Celestial room with all five of our children. We told them we hope to stand in the Celestial room with them as adults someday.

Once done touring the temple open house, we headed down town. We ate at the Garden Restaurant at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. The kids thought it was cool to be up high and see a great view of the Salt Lake Temple. Once done eating we went to Temple Square. We've taken our kids to Temple Square before to see the Christmas lights, but we had never taken them inside the visitors center. We really loved seeing the Chirstus. We also all enjoyed the Family Proclamation presentation. It was really good and Chuck and I even teared up during it. What a great feeling to know that our family can be eternal.

We took the kids to the Church Historical Museum. They have a fun kids activity area. That is new since the last time I went there. The younger kids loved the activity area and we had to drag them out of there. Something we loved was the display on how they built the tabernacle. It was very interesting.

What a wonderful and spiritual day we had together as a family. I'm glad we made the quick trip to Salt Lake for an LDS tour day. It was fun and spiritual too. To end the day we decided to try out Moogies Meatball Subs in Salt Lake City for dinner. We went there because it was a restaurant featured on "Diners, Drive-inns, and Dives." It was really good. They have a great Philly Cheese Steak Sub...mmmmmm!
