BRIGHAM CITY TEMPLE DEDICATION


What a beautiful temple!!

Our "half-size" family
Janelle and Grady

 We attended the Open House for the Brigham City Temple on September 15, 2012.  We had heard that all the tickets were sold out so we decided we would probably not be able to go.
Lynn and Earlene Perkes had been through it just the week before and told me that they really didn't even ask for tickets so we decided to go anyway and see if we could get in.  Sure enough, we were able to go through it and what a beautiful temple it is. Chelsea was in awe of everything she saw.  Janelle and Grady were the only other family members that were able to come with us.  We had a great time and were hoping to enjoy a dinner, at the famous Maddox Restaurant, with homemade rolls and raspberry butter before we came home. We found out however, that they were so busy with all the people attending the Open House that if you didn't have reservations you couldn't eat there.  So instead we headed back to Logan to eat.  What a fun family outing we had!! 




Grady loved the water fountain that was in front of the temple.  We had a hard time keeping him out of it; he thought it was the perfect swimming pool.
 

Janelle took this photo and I just had to include it.  Brigham City is full of fruit stands.  Our family has always looked forward to coming here in the  late summer and early fall to buy fresh cherries, peaches, pumpkins, squash, apples and all sorts of other home-grown produce.  I don't think many temples are surrounded by fruit trees, but the Brigham City one just had to be.
