On Saturday June 13, 2009, the primary in our ward had an activity where they took the children to see and touch the temple. This activity was inspired by Elder Gary E. Stevenson's talk during the April 2009 General Conference titled Sacred Homes, Sacred Temples. He says "Even our young children have been encouraged to visit the temple grounds and touch the temple. President Thomas S. Monson once counseled, 'As we touch the temple, the temple will touch us."
Ever since we were sealed in the Manti Temple the kids have been asking when they can go back. They are a little disappointed that they have to wait until they go on missions or are married in the temple to go back inside, but they can still feel the spirit even if it is just visiting the temple grounds or touching the outside walls.

They don't have to wait! We just got back from the Oquirrh Mountain open house with our kids. It is the first time they have been inside a temple. So beautiful and the kids loved it. It was a great experience...even though right after when we got in the van they started fighting again. At least they didn't fight inside the temple:)
What a neat experience. Also, after they turn 12 they can go do baptisms!
