Vancouver British Columbia Temple Open House

This morning we got up early so we could go to a different country for the day - Canada that is - yes, we drove up to British Columbia to go to the open house for the new LDS temple in Langley.

Mackenzie drove for the first 1 & 1/2 hours up to the border and then Steve took over driving the rest of the way - Mackenzie's learners permit only allows her to endanger those living in the state of Washington :-) JK - she is getting quite good.

Just outside the entrance to the temple.

To protect the floors of the temple, all the visitors were required to wear these shoe covers - they had some youth from the nearby areas there placing them on the shoes of the visitors - kind act of service - reminded me of the Savior washing the apostles feet to teach them how to serve others.

After we went through the temple we went back inside the stake center and enjoyed some cookies and a drink.

Mackenzie and Brooklyn at the cookie table...AGAIN!

Brooklyn, Steve and Mackenzie in front of the temple. It was a fun day together. And being inside the temple reminded us again of how blessed we are as a family.

Love the great pictures of you all, and so glad you were able to attend the open house. I bet it was a great experience for you all. So glad that Mackenzie got you there safe and sound.
