As I mentioned in an earlier post, our family is trying to go to all the temples in Utah this year. We started out with our first temple being The Quirrh Mt Temple. The kids loved it! The kids had been to this temple when there was the open house and had been inside. Austin kept saying he wanted to go back in it. I had a cute picture of the three of them but for some reason can't find it. A nice guy asked if he could take our pictures, and as we were leaving Trent and I tried to take one of us by ourselves... and as you can see didn't quite turn out.
Some interesting Facts about the Oquirrh Mt. Temple:
The Oquirrh Temple and the S Jordan temple are the only two temples in the world located in the same city - also same zip code.
Like the St.George temple the top (angel Moroni on this temple) was struck by lightning and had to be re done. (I know some of you reading this will be thinking two things depending on who you are.. First one - See the Mormons are crazy God is sending them a message- or b. Brigham Young Got his way with the St.George Temple, and Pres. Hinkley got his way with this one.)
Dedicating this temple was a birthday present for Pres. Monson since it was his 82nd birthday that day!
For the first time in Utah history, church was canceled so people could attend the dedication.

I love that you are trying to get to all the temples with your kids, what a great goal. I am sure it will leave such an impression on them.
