Our family went to the open house this afternoon. It is the last weekend for the public to be able to see this temple (in West Jordan) before it closes for cleaning before the dedication ceremonies in late August. I wanted the kids to have a chance to see more parts of a temple that they have been able to see up until now.
We live pretty close to the Mount Timpanogos Temple and the kids go do baptisms there, but can't see any part of the temple other than the baptistry. Will had several questions for me about various different rooms and their purposes, but it wasn't a huge spiritual experience walking through the open house. We were SURROUNDED by very young children! I guess the parents thought that bringing their screaming 2 year old would somehow make the kid more spiritual? Mostly it just gave the rest of us a headache!
I am not against little children, just disappointed that they distracted so much from the experience. Will said he wished it had been quieter so he could feel what the Celestial room is supposed to be like. He wanted to know how old you have to be before you can get a temple recommend.
