Two Really Cool Things

This was a really cool thing we got to go see.  This is a replica of the ancient tabernacle of the Israelites.  I am LOVING studying the Old Testament this year and this was fascinating to get to see full size what it would have actually been like.
The exhibit was very well done with volunteers and missionaries hosting and sharing information.
The outer courtyard.
In case there is a concern, I was rubbing Peter's neck in a nice way.  It kind of looks like I am pinching him.  
The holy place.
The Holy of Holies with the Ark of the Covenant.
After the Tabernacle portion of the tour, we went through a display of the history of temples on the earth.  It ended with this medium-sized Christus statue and the words of "The Living Christ".  Greta requested I take her picture in front and she said, "Make sure Jesus is in the picture!"  
Out of the mouths of babes.  
Here was another really cool thing.  Andrea bought and completely renovated a grand historic home in downtown Salt Lake.  It is STUNNING and will be used for a variety of purposes.  We were so excited to be a part of the opening event for Plumfield House.  We enjoyed a potluck dinner with family and friends and an evening of top-notch entertainment.
They are really more like cousins.
Greta made good friends with Tessa Young and proceeded to talk her ear off all night.  Tessa was so sweet with her.  
Raven graduated from SUU and she performed a concert for us.  She did so well and it is a joy to have watched her develop her talent over the years.
After the concert, Raven's husband Elliot performed an abridged version of the play, Every Brilliant Thing that he performed at BYU.  It's a fantastic show and Elliot was wonderful!
