Guess Who Saw The Temple?!?!?!

We did!!!! (but just the outside...more on that later). So after weeks of waiting to see downtown Salt Lake City, we finally got there :) Okay, so the Temple Square entrance looks like this:

Temple Square has a bunch of cool stuff in it (the Temple, Assembly Hall and the Tabernacle) and is walled/fenced off with female greeters at every gate. So, if you're not LDS (Latter Day Saints) you are allowed to walk around inside of Temple Square but you can't go into the Temple. Anyway, here's what we looked like when we got into the Square:

See how excited we are? That's because SLC is well known for this square and we were pumped to see it. Here's what the temple looks like in all of it's glory:

Pretty sweet isn't it? Anyway, the Tabernacle was the next thing we found in the square and it looks like this:
This is where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir rehearses on Thursdays...and we're totally going! The Tabernacle Choir is well known for their 360 members (all Mormon of course, but also all volunteers). Anyway, every year they put on an awesome Christmas show that is free to the public and so popular that you have to put your name into a lottery to get tickets. (And yes, we will be putting our name in for next year!) The show isn't in the Tabernacle though, it's hosted across the street (outside of the Temple Square) in the Conference Center (also made by the Church). It can seat 20,000 people, is GIGANTIC, and looks like this:
So also in Temple Square is Assembly Hall which was built from left over materials from the Temple. Here's what we looked like in front of it:
That's a lovely picture of us (have you seen a pose like that before?) but not such a great one of the Assembly Hall. Here is a better one:
Anyway, we were allowed to go into this building...so we did. Matt thought it might not be okay to take crazy pictures like I like...so you'll have to use your imagination :)
