Sunday at Temple Square

Morgan really wanted to see the temple when we drove by on Friday night, so we decided it was a great Sunday afternoon activity. She doesn't remember at all the times we would go at Christmas and see the lights, in fact Tori vaguely recalls it.

Jordan loves the waterfall at the conference center. She likes waterfalls and one day wants to go see the tallest one in Africa!

View of the waterfall from the top. Doesn't look as cool that way. We learned that it circulates 6,000 gallons of water a minute.

The view of all the church buildings from atop the conference center is pretty neat. You stand straight across from the rooftop of the temple,

a great shot of the church office building (one day we will go back and take the kids to the top to see the whole valley)

the tabernacle building and visitors center,

and the Joseph Smith Memorial building, which used to be the Hotel Utah.

Peek-A-Boo! We see you!!

These pyramids are the tops of the skylights that shine down on the podium inside the conference center, the fountain sits directly over top the podium.

Inside the conference center, we got to go down almost to the very front this time and the girls learned about the podium being made of the oak tree that used to be in front of Pres. Hinckley's childhood home.
All the while Kordale was fast asleep and has no idea where his travels took him today.
