Tokyo LDS Temple, Sky Lobby, and teamLab: Borderless {Tokyo, Japan}

 Our first stop this afternoon was the LDS temple.  It was right in the middle of a neighborhood.  You could literally live next door if you wanted.  





They have a visitors center which we explored for a few minutes bc I was waiting for the distribution center to re-open from their lunch break.  It was fun to see pictures of the rooms inside the temple.  I was able to get some of the new garment tops and I'm excited!  




Then we walked over to the park across the street, hoping to find some grass for Cam to play on.  I loved catching glimpses of the temple from the park.  
So green!


We found a small area of grass.  She was probably breaking the rules b/c she wasn't just sitting and enjoying it but she wasn't running around or throwing a ball (which was the biggest no-no) so we let her at it.  
Little kid drawings are amazing!
the pond was so pretty!


Next up we took a train to Sky Lobby where we went up to the 34th floor of the tall building in this picture.  It gave us great views of the Tokyo Tower.  It was a little annoying b/c you had to pay an entrance fee (don't mind that) AND everyone had to buy a drink (don't make me drink something I don't want just to see a view)
The view was spectacular though!




Afterwards we went and had dinner at Yoshinoya (a place Konrad used to eat at on his mission).  Then we went to teamLab: Borderless which is an immersive art museum known for its colorful digital art and fun photo ops.  We had so much fun!








Cam realized she could make the "water" follow her and had a blast drawing with it. 
I drew a heart!
