Our Trip To Boise

So the Boise Temple has been Remodeled. We we decided that to it would be fun to take the boys to see it was time for the open house for the temple so that the public can see what is inside the temple before it is dedicated. Boy has someone been trying really hard so that we would npot make it to the temple. It started ASunday night before we were to go. We had gotten everything packed and were eating dinner when all of a sudden Alex Started Throwing up. I cleaned him up and took care of him and put him in the bathtub. I put Digize on him so that his tummy would feel better then I put the kids to bed. Then on Monday moringin we got up and left about 7:15 bin the morning. We got to I205 and there was a car fire which backed traffic up for about half an hour.but eventually we got on our way again. We ate Lucnh in LeGrande Oregon at the KFC There. We arrived in Idaho at about 5:30. We ate a light dinner and eventually tried to put the boys to bed. But becasue the boys had been in the car all day they just had too much pent up energy. Alex ended up getting hurt and bit his tongue really hard. But eventually they went to sleep. Then Stephen could not sleep So I ened up moving to the couch so that I could get some sleep becasue I knew that one of us needed to get some sleep. Then that night it decided to ppour down ain iot started raining so much that I was afriad that we might have a flash flood. Nobody wanted to get up in the morning and the rain was terrible. As we were driving to the temple we got pulled over by a cop. luckly he just gave us a warning. It was grey and really ugly when we got to the temple. We watched a short video about the History of the Boise temple and then we got to go and tour the temple. Alex threw a fit when we put the booties on to go into the temple. THe booties are so that we don't scuff up the floors in the temple and get tem dirty. So I hel ALex as we walked into the door and stood in the foyer of the temple. I was overwhelmed with the most wonderfully warm and comforting feeling as I realized that i was in the temple with my boys. ALex then looked at me and said "mommy you are crying", which of course started the tears running down my face. Alex really liked lookiong at the pictures of Jesus in the temple. When we walked out of the temple it was the most incredible blyue sky and the sun was shiny. Yoyu would never have known that a half hour earlier it had been all grey and yunky and pouring ddown rain. I am so grateful That we were able to make it to the open house and feel of the spirit in the temple.
