Today we were able to go to the Brigham City Temple open
house. It was beautiful!
We had a little bit of a rough start (hence
why everyone but Darin looks homeless), but we made it, and we were glad we
went.
Our family in front of the temple.
A hallway.
The baptismal font.
The celestial room.

After we went through the temple my grandpa Welling gave us
a little tour of Brigham City.
We saw some cool places, read some newspaper articles, heard
some stories, and learned a lot of new things about our family. For example, have you heard of Brigham City Peach Days? Well, today I found out that my great-great grandparents were in charge of the FIRST Peach Days!
This restaurant, just blocks from the new temple is where my
great grandpa grew up.
The parking lot
is where their garden was.
Another home of a great-great grandparent.
This is the chapel where my great grandpa was the bishop for
20 year! Whoa! That is long!
We ended the tour at the cemetery.
You can read some of my favorite stories about my great grandparents, on my cousin Lori’s blog
You really should go read it, Lori wrote it with her mother, my aunt DeAnna.
They are both excellent writers,
and the stories are inspiring even if you're not related!
Then, we got some lunch at Madox!
And visited a little side of the road produce stand.
Love those kids!
