I loved walking around the beautiful temple grounds with my family. It was an exciting day since the kids haven't seen the new temple visitor center yet! Also, we met their Grandma Ovard at the visitor center, which made it extra exciting for the kids, who adore her.
My favorite part was the beautiful artwork!
These particular two pictures of Mary and Baby Jesus were my favorites. A very talented artist created these. Unfortunately, they are not at the Portland Temple Visitor Center to stay. They will go back to Utah after their little stay here.
At Christ's feet.
Hyrum next to the beautiful wall that looks like ancient Jerusalem architecture. It is very beautiful decor.
Elijah and Memphis loved the cool games they had on a computer touch screen on the wall. They got to play "Build a Temple" and "Color a temple".
The kids in front of the temple.
By the beautiful water fountain.
By the reflection pool.
I love this Christmas display that they set up in the reflection pool for the season. So lovely!
It was a great day. I loved sharing with the kids the spirit of the temple. Now they will better understand where mommy and daddy disappear to once a month when we leave them with dear friends and go to serve in the temple.
