The "Daybreak Temple"

I know that President Hinckley announced at the groundbreaking ceremony that the name of this temple would be the Oquirrh Mountain Temple, but to me it will forever be "The Daybreak Temple" since it is located at the Daybreak housing community. It is scheduled for the openhouse this summer and then will be dedicated in August (I think.) I noticed just this past Sunday night that the lights were on when I was driving back home from Provo, and saw them again last night when I was coming home. I couldn't resist driving up to it and getting a closer look. With the little cresent moon in the background it made the perfect picture. It's been a while since I've inspected the progress there, but it is looking like most of the landscaping is in place and it is getting ready for the openhouse.
I'm not sure which temple is actually closer to my house, this one or the Jordan River Temple, but either one is literally 4 turns on the road from home. Not only is it a blessing to be so close to several temples (8 within a one hour drive) but to have 2 brand new temples to attend the openhouse and dedications within just a few months of each other is amazing. Not many people in the whole world will ever have that opportunity.

Let's Go Fly a Kite---


With tuppence for paper and strings,
you can have your own set of wings.
With your feet on the ground,
you're a bird in flight!
With your fist holding tight,
to the string of your kite!

Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

When you send it flying up there,
all at once your lighter than air!
You can dance on the breeze,
over 'ouses and trees!
With your fist 'olding tight,
to the string your kite!

Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite!

What do you like to do on a breezy spring day??
