The Atlanta Temple was open for tours the last two weeks. We were able to go inside with our little family and see the new remodeling and show the kids where Grandma Wendy and Grandpa spend a lot of their time and also to see where Mom and Dad got married! It was so beautiful and we all felt such a peaceful real feeling. Grandpa walked through with us as well, while Grandma Wendy was in the reception tent at the end of the tour.
It was so wonderful to walk through with Travis, my eternal companion in the place where we were sealed 9 1/2 years ago...It's also fun to see where we are now all these years later, with 3 beautiful crazies and one on the way, living nearby.
They were so well behaved in the temple!
Kaylin loved all the white rooms with the big chandeliers. She was so sweet and felt a warm feeling while there. She loved being with Grandpa too.
Ethan liked the baptismal font. He held my hand most of the tour. He was happy to see where Mom and Dad got sealed.
And Mika? We were just happy she was quiet! :) Travis at one point told her to look for Jesus (there are esquisite paintings everywhere of Him) and the air conditioning turned on and she said in a very loud whisper: "Gasp! I just heard the toilet! Jesus flushed the potty!" (she IS potty training right now, so her and the toilet are "one" right now...)
The kids were so excited to see Grandma afterwards. We took a quick picture at the backside of the temple so Grandma could get back to her "job" in the reception tent.
It was such a wonderful day! We love the temple!!!
