Temple Square

While Mary Kay was here we went to Heritage Park for a tour. It was really neat to learn about. When Brigham Young arrived in this area he came to this spot and looked around and said, "this is the place," and this is where they settled. It is an amazing town with original and replicated buildings of how the first LDS settlers lived.

The girls ran up to each house. Since it was Sunday they were not open but it was neat to look inside the windows.
This is at Temple Square

It was so beautiful with all the tulip's blooming and blossoms. The girls had a blast playing in the fountains making wishes.

I LOVE how happy Avery is! Sweet little thing!
Josh, Cio and Tiffany were able to meet up with us at Temple Square. It was a fun day!
The SLC temple took 40 years to build. Made out of granite that was hauled, first by Oxen and eventually by railroad about 20 miles from a Quarry and split by hand with chisels! Amazing!
