Salt Lake City in July

My brother and his wife came to town and wanted to go to the Salt Lake Temple. We drove up with them and while they were in the temple we killed time on Temple Square. We saw lots of cool stuff, and it was nice because it wasn't near as busy as at Christmas time. We saw the cool new model they have of the inside of the Salt Lake Temple* and sat in the Tabernacle. We looked inside the Conference Center and enjoyed the Christus statue at the North Visitors' Center. It was a very hot day, and we all enjoyed water and lemonade at dinner when Rich and Kim were done.

In front of the Salt lake Temple. The guy who took this picture was so nice and so funny.
The kids love to walk the spiral path to the statue. They point out the planets and everything in the "sky"


Dinner with Rich and Kim was so fun!

After we ate we stopped by the Salt Lake City Cemetery to see the marker for John Taylor. We did this with the kids last year, but it was fun to go with Uncle rich too.

*Here is a link to a page with more information and pictures of the model. It was really tool to see. http://www.newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/eng/news-releases-stories/scaled-model-provides-salt-lake-temple-open-house-experience
