Utah: Temple Square

After leaving the mansion, we went to show the kids around Temple Square a little bit before driving to Bountiful to stay with the Marujis for the weekend.

We toured the Beehive House, but took no pictures. I was a little disappointed that tours can't go upstairs anymore.

I forget which building we finally found the kids' play area in because we asked several different people who worked on Temple Square and they all told us different buildings. But we found it!

Tommy had fun building, but ended in tears because the other kids playing were careless in bumping the table.

These trees look so whimsical!

After Temple Square, we went to The Beer Store before going to the Marujis. Shad was interested in finding a home-brewed root beer and that's the place we found after searching Google. A blogger talked very highly of Brigham's Brew, which could be had in a can or on tap. We were very disappointed. They no longer had it on tap and it was overly sweet, nasty honey root beer. Don't do it!
