Temple trip

Our ward went to the temple in Chicago yesterday and we were able to take Benjamin with us. I am so grateful for the familiar spirit of the temple, I know that it's the closest we can get to where we came from, and our spirits recognize that! Elder Perry was in the temple, we saw him visiting with the temple president. We had a fun ride to the temple and back on a bus with many other members of our ward. It was actually very comfortable and the kids did very well-there were a lot of kids on the bus! We had babysitters waiting for us at a stake center close to the temple, Sister Swartz--our neigbor and relief society president--organized it all. She's an amazing lady. Here are some pictures we took outside the temple. It was a wonderful day.
