Provo Temple Open House

I really wanted to go down to the Provo Temple Open House so I talked with both sides of the family to see if anyone wanted to go.  All of my family decided it would be fun to go see it together.  So I tried to set up an appointment for Rachel to get a recheck at the brain balance center but Sydney ended up quitting and so they cancelled it until March 23 during our spring break.  We ended up leaving around 10:15 from mom and dad's house.  We took Jared and Trenton so that Mom and Dad could fit into Paul's vehicle and didn't have to drive by themselves.

Paul and my parents decided they were going to stop at Maddox to get some lunch.  We had to stop at the rest area so we just met them there.  It seems like it took forever to get their food.

We ended up leaving and headed to Sconecutter because we had told Damian we were going to be there at 1:00 and now it was going to be 1:30.  I was starving by the time we got there but of course it was delicious as always.  After lunch we headed to our hotel so that we could get changed for the temple.  That's when we found out the pool was closed.  We were kind of ticked but was like whatever.  We then had to wait for Paul to go to Walmart because Matthew forgot to bring any church pants with his church clothes.  So finally we headed to Provo around 3:30.

 I took this right as we got to the temple and were walking from the parking lot that we parked in. We actually got into line about 1/2 an hour early.  So that was nice.

 Waiting in line.  Everyone was still happy at this point.  The wait ended up not being as bad as I had heard it would be.  Some people had waited up to four hours to get through the temple.   We only had to wait about forty five minutes before we started into the temple.

 The start of the tour.  They even wrapped mom's wheelchair wheels with plastic wrap.  They have it worked out to a science though so she didn't even have to get out of the chair.

 The outside of the temple.  So gorgeous.

 Of course we had to get one of just Rachel by herself.  

After that we ended up eating at Chuck A Rama.  We headed back to the hotel and were happy to see that they had the swimming pool back up and in working order.  I was watching the BYU men's vball game and then we went to the pool.  The kids of a ball while the adults hung out talking and soaking between the hot tub and the pool. It was a great day.
