Temple or Bust


We had dedicated last Saturday to attend the St. Louis temple. Everything was arranged with our friends, Emily and Ben. They would watch Luke and their 4-month-old, Kate, while we did a session. Then, we'd swap spots, and we'd watch the babies while they went through.

Unfortunately, we didn't get the memo that the temple was closed for repairs due to a water pipe rupture. Emily had even called the temple on Thursday to ask if they had a room where we could watch the children. The sister at the temple said that there was a room but neglected to mention that the temple was closed, had been closed for two weeks, and would be closed for another week.


Oh well, we still had a good time. Luke loved the Science Center, which is geared to small people (ok, a little older than Luke). He stared, wide-eyed, at all the mirrors, life-sized robotic dinosaurs, etc. Even us bigger people enjoyed the interactive exhibits, except that the place was so crowded we didn't get to pause at our favorite stations, such as those about the human body.


After the Science Center, we went to the Olive Garden. Since we lack this or basically any other restaurant options close to home, we were thrilled to eat there.
