Temple of Heaven

Kiera, Whitney, Leah, and I visited the Temple of Heaven on October 4th. Although the temple was gorgeous, I think my favorite part was all the people surrounding the temple. People meet there to dance, exercise, play games, knit, etc. It was really fun just walking around and watching everyone.

There were groups all over playing hacky sack with these feather toys so we bought one and tried it out!
