Temple Square in Salt Lake City

SM and I had some friends from Ohio come to Salt Lake and we met them at Temple Square.  Their three kids were so excited to see the Temple at Temple Square.  Here's the youngest is standing with me at the statue of the Christus in the Visitors Center. 

Here's an awesome picture of the Salt Lake Temple right after a large rain storm.  We did get a little bit wet but it was so much fun and I got some good pictures.

J was turning eight years old in a couple weeks, so he was excited to tell all the sister missionaries that he was going to be baptized soon.  He also was memorizing all the different flags on the sister missionaries' name tags (the flags indicate where they are from).

SM and his friend A were friends at Utah State and then found each other in Ohio.  A is a very nice and funny girl and I enjoyed making another friend.

This is A's husband, P and his little girl.  We had a good time walking around Temple Square, visiting with sister missionaries  taking pictures, and getting caught up with each other.

We also took a tour of the Beehive House, where Brigham Young lived while he was president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  I thought that I had had a tour of this house before but as we went through it, I didn't recognize anything.

Isn't this harp beautiful?!  The rooms in the Beehive House were so elegant and pretty.

We are standing in front of the Relief Society building.  We all went inside and got a tour of the building.  It has an amazing history.  It was a fun tour.

These are some of the amazing and beautiful pieces in the Relief Society building.

Here we are on the top of the Conference Center.  There are lots of tall trees and even a field, along with several fountains all on the top of the Conference Center.  It's such a big, beautiful building and had some amazing architecture.

This is a photo of the field that is on top of the Conference Center.  The dirt has to be light so that it doesn't cause the ceiling of the Conference Center to cave in to the building.  We had a great visit with our friends and I enjoyed learning more about Salt Lake and it's history, past and present.
