We had a primary activity of going to the temple because this year's theme is, "Families Are Forever". I love primary and I loved being able to share this experience with the kids and their families. We had everyone gather at the stake center next to the temple just in case it rained that day. It was a good starting point. We had the kids color pictures. Then we opened the activity with a song, prayer and quick directions of how we show respect on the temple grounds. Then we moved to the back lawn of the temple (the weather was perfect) where we had Sister Merrill give a lesson about temples. Then the activity day girls gave a short presentation about preparing for the temple. Then we moved to another spot on the lawn for a story about temples. Then we had the families walk around the grounds on their own so the parents could talk about their experiences in the temple or the ones they hope to have. We had a member who is a photographer set up to take everyone's picture in front of the temple. Then when they had their picture taken, the family could go to the park right next to the temple for our picnic. It was fun and didn't rain until we were leaving. And then it was a downpour. :) I only remembered to take my own pics at the very end, right before we left but they're some cute memories.
