SLC Day 1

We got up Friday morning and had a relaxing breakfast before heading west to Salt Lake City. The night before I was telling Keegan everything that we were going to see the next day, Grandma and Grandpa Porter, the Temple, pictures of Jesus, etc ... I asked him in the morning if he remembered what we were going to see and he said: "Porter! Grandpa!" "Temple!" "Picture, Jesus" and "Ho, Ho, Ho! Santa!" Not sure where he got the idea that we were going to see Santa, but that sure was cute!!
We got to SLC and started walking around. Matt's folks live just blocks from Temple Square. Keegan was very excited about seeing the temple. As soon as we could snap a picture of him he took off running towards the temple. In the bottom picture you can see how excited he was to touch the temple.

He even got to go up and try the doors ... he was pretty bummed that he couldn't open them up.

Mom and Dad work in the Church office Building which is 26+ stories high. They took us up to the top to see the view.

Their apartment is the large brown building (with the metal things on the roof) in the lower left hand corner of the picture. Almost everything in their lives is in walking distance.

We spent a good amount of time just walking around ...

... and stopping at each of the dozens of fountains around the city.

It was hard to pry Keegan away from the fountains.

We bought Keegan his first tie. When I put it on him he looked at it, and looked at Grandpa's tie, and got very excited that he had a tie just like Grandpa.

Mom and Dad have a great pool and hot tub right across the hall, so we took Cadence for her first dip in the pool.

She didn't mind. (Isn't that the littlest swimsuit you have ever seen?!?)
