Tonya and Karid in front of the temple. Garrison, Ethan and Maddie in front of the temple. Sharmon email your families pictures from when you we here and Tonya some of your family at the open houses and I'll post them. Grrison liked the room with the bulls. In case you can't figure out what that is, it's the baptismal font held up by the 12 staues of oxen. The kids liked riding the golf cart to and from the car. We are really blessed to have so many temples within a 20 min. drive. I feel blessed that the kids were able to go to an open house and see inside 2 temples before they are dedicated. It's my prayer they will all go there when grown and receive the wonderful blessings awaiting them.
Ann called and invited us to Ed's open house so we could see the second phase of his 3 block wagon train monument before it was shiped out to Neb. It is 1 1/2 times life size. He is amazing. His son Ted told us this second phase has taken 4 years. I was impressed also because although there were many people there and someone was ready to take his picture with Arnold Frieburg and an other artist i didn't recognize, when we waved good bye Ed excused himself for a moment and came to give me a hug, shake Daves hand and say good bye and thank us for coming. Thats the kind of man he is. He rubs shoulders with some very important and well known people but he is so down to earth. We had stopped in to visit a couple of times during the past few years and went to his first open house It was neat to see the different steps to the completed works.
