Bright and early Saturday morning I arrived at the Draper temple to drop my car off, catch a ride to our chapel and walk 7-miles with our Young Women to the Draper Temple. Yes, it was a little crazy, but we found out that there were more crazy young women in the area that walked from the Draper Temple to the Salt Lake Temple. 
Here are the brave eight Young Women that actually showed up to join us for the "Walk to the Temple"
This is the half way spot a the Historic Draper Park. The girls were in good spirits the entire walk and entertained each other and the leaders.
Along one of the paths a horse started to talk to us, so Chandlor had to go say "Hi" to Smokey the Horse.
See what happy faces they had, and they still had over 2-miles to go. This walk was a challenge for some of the young ladies, but they were determined to do it, and kept right on walking throug sore feet and ankles. We did have a support vehicle that followed us just in case anyone needed to have a rest.
We walked through a tunnel that the girls each stood in one of the characters spots to pose, Cassidy made a great bird!
And then we hit the last mile, it was straight up hill. It was the hardest mile of the entire walk, but they DID IT! Kate even ran up the hill, but she was the only one crazy enough to run the hill.
See, the sign showing the temple is that way......
Almost up the hill. Such a great view of the valley behind them. So wonderful to see three temples from this hill. Where else can you see that many temples from one spot?
Arm in Arm arriving at the Temple!
They DID IT. They took a few hours of their Saturday morning to go for a beautiful walk.
We had eight Young Women and four leaders walk with us yesterday. When we arrived we had a light breakfast waiting for us and the Bishop came us and talked to us about the challenges we will have in our lives going to the temple, but the blessings we recieve inside, are worth every challage to get there. It was a great day, and I am soo proud of these Young Women for making the "Walk to the Temple"

Awesomeness! I'm soooo going to steal this idea! But I'm afraid walking 4 blocks to our temple won't be long enough! We'll have to walk to another temple!
I missed you too when I came in for my one on one. What is it with you never working anymore?!! ;)- I always get excited to see you and then you're not there! :(
