Detroit Temple

Joshua had Friday and Monday off work, so we were able to have a four-day weekend! We wanted to go to the Cranbrook Science Center last Friday but it snowed all afternoon so we decided to have a lazy day at home instead. But today, the snow is starting to melt (don't fret -- it'll be back later in the week ... sigh..) and it was forty-something degrees outside (Hey! That's good weather to us right now!) so we decided to give the science center a try again. We had a great time but I forgot to bring my camera into the museum, so I didn't take any pictures. But on the way home, we passed by the Detroit temple. Since Joshua and I usually go without the children, and Spencer and Jessica have only seen it once a long time ago, we stopped in the parking lot and walked around the grounds for a while with the kids. It was nice for them to see it up close and not just in pictures.

We have a picture of the Detroit temple hanging in our meetinghouse and I remember about a year ago, Alex and I were looking at it and he asked me if we really did have a temple close to us. I said "yes", and he said, "Well, I want to see it for real then!" I told him that someday I'd take him to see it. Well, I kept my promise to him. I'm glad he and all my other kids got to see it today. I also got the opportunity to use my camera after all. See pictures below;
