Our family attended the Gilbert Temple Open House this morning. The kids started school late that day, expect Emily, so we thought it would be a great time to tour the Gilbert Temple. The temple was so beautiful inside and out. I loved hearing the quiet oohs and aahs from my children. Everyone really enjoyed seeing the Celestial Room. It's a beautiful room with an amazing chandelier. There is a theme surrounding the temple - agave plant. This plant was found throughout the temple - the stained glass windows, carpets, wood work, and so many other places. The younger part of the plant blooms and while the older part protects the plant. It's a symbol of the importance of families - parents helping their children bloom in the gospel. It was a beautiful morning to go to the temple with my family. "
