Temple Square

Last night we went to Temple Square with Mimi and Bear to see all the Christmas lights. It was a good idea in theory, but in reality it didn't go so well.

#1. If your kids are all usually in bed by 6:00, you probably shouldn't leave your house to go somewhere at 5:30.

#2. If you make it up to Salt Lake in pretty good time, even with heavy traffic, don't think you are out of the woods. You will still have to park.

#3. Parking was HORRIFIC! We drove around for 30 minutes trying to park with 3 tired kids and a screaming baby.

#4. Don't bring a jogging stroller. It doesn't fit through most doorways and people are just plain rude and won't let you through a crowd on the sidewalk.

But, other than that it went well. The kids were most thrilled with the hot chocolate and cookies. Mimi says "Maybe we'll do it again in 5 years!" I'm with her on that one.

I think Lila actually enjoyed the whole experience the most. She is so adventurous and is always up for anything. She had a ball riding on Bear's shoulders.

Ryan took this and I think it is beautiful.
