Earlier this year, our church announced that the Denver Temple was going to open the baptistery on weekdays. This would enable the youth to serve in the temple over the summer, and they've had an amazing response to it!
Wednesday we took my brother Cole down to the temple with us, and we all did baptisms. It was a super cool experience to be able to participate in that with Cole. They told us at the end that 97 youth were in the temple that day, and over 1000 ordinances were done. That was incredible!
After the temple, we took Cole to lunch at Cafe Rio (he had never been before), and then took him to Deseret Book where he chose his birthday present: a new phone case with a picture of a missionary suit and tie on the back. I bought the book "Heaven is Here." It's one of the books for our family book club in a couple months. I started reading it yesterday. I'll let you know what I think in a little bit.
We still had some time to kill before we went to the Rockies game that night, so we went to Ikea. I love that place, and Cole had never been there. As per usual, we didn't leave without a souvenir. I've been looking for nicer pillows to put on our couch, and I finally found some I liked at Ikea!
After we were done at Ikea we headed to Coors Field for the Rockies game. We LOVE the Rockies, but haven't been able to go to as many games as we'd like this year. I'd only ever been to one game (that I can remember) where the Rockies won. But now I can say I've been to two because they won that night!!
