We went to the Gilbert Temple groundbreaking! It was super awesome to actually be there. We felt like we were one of the ones that 'pointed our tent toward the temple'.
Elder Costa did our Stake Conference a while ago and it was fun to see his excitement then, and then to have him dedicate the grounds was really cool. You could feel his excitement as he talked about the temple, and his love for the area. We are excited to have the temple being built too and we feel really blessed to be close to watch it in the process!
Here is the Church news article.
We ate some lunch while we were there.
The kids mostly played in the dirt. But they were there and that's what counts.
There were a ton of people there and it was cool to see! I heard there was 5,000 chairs set up which were all filled by the time we got there. I am guessing, but probably about 5,000 more sitting on blankets, chairs of their own, or standing.
On the way home Baden kept repeating over and over, "Had FUN! Had FUN!" which got Kya to chime in too!
