Gila Valley Temple Open House

Just over 2 years ago, on April 26, 2008 the church announced the construction of 2 new temples in Arizona. While the one we are most excited for (because it will be so close to our house) still doesn't have a ground breaking date scheduled, the other one was dedicated today. We were lucky enough to go and take the kids to the open house. It was such a great experience! It was especially neat because we were able to go and sit in each of the rooms, including the Celestial Room. I really enjoyed the chance to sit down in the rooms and explain to my kids what they were. We went up on a Sunday and spent the night with our wonderful friends then went to the open house the next morning.

Here is the Temple.

KL just really enjoyed spreading out her skirt and posing for pictures, so she deserved another one.
