Star Valley Temple

The girls didn't have school October 7, so we used the free day to take them to the Star Valley Temple open house. This was my ninth temple open house, Rebekah's sixth, Analee's fifth, Miriam's fourth and Winnie's third. (We love temples!)

Seth had spent the previous week in California for work (an Intel convention where he had a 40-minute presentation and was voted best presentation of the day), so I drove the girls in the van while Grandma and Grandpa Scott drove Aunt Jessica in their car.

Along the way, we found an awesome town.

We HAD to stop for pictures.

We stopped at the Red Baron for lunch that day. We weren't the only ones, either. There were lots of people in dresses and ties eating there.

Not sure what Winnie's doing while the rest of us eat. Miriam's red sleeve is visible in the picture.

Then we waited (and waited ... and waited) for our orientation at the building down the road before we boarded the bus, rode to the temple and toured it. It was, of course, beautiful. Something that struck me was how little the temple is compared to Idaho Falls'. But then again, Star Valley has a smaller population than I.F.

The drive was beautiful with all the fall leaves, and we returned home that evening safe and sound.
