A Night out on Temple Square






We have been planning on going to see the lights at Temple Square for a few weeks now. We kept postponing it because things kept coming up. Well we finally did it tonight as a family! The girls had a blast, well I'm not sure about Madisynn she just sat in the stroller most of the time. McKenzie didn't want to go home. We haven't been to Temple Square in 5 years. We remember that their were tons of lights everywhere and that they were just beautiful. This year their didn't seem to be as many lights as they used to have. It was still beautiful, but it was kind of dissapointing. It was still fun to go see! The area around temple square has changed a lot also. They tore the big crossroads mall out and totally gutted out the ZCMI. Good news though, the church bought back the ZCMI because it's a historic land mark, and they didn't want it torn down. Anyways while we were at Temple Square we listened to the Nativity that they put on over speakerphone. McKenzie thought that was pretty neat. We went inside the tabernacle, They remodeled it. It looks very nice, more spacious! We walked around all of temple square, and the temple grounds to look at the lights. My favorite part of the evening was going and seeing the statue of Christ in the Visitors center. It is just beautiful!!! I was even more thankful that we were able to get a picture of us infront of it to always remember it. On the way back to our car, we walked by the conference center. That was decorated also, and it was beautful too. I'm grateful that we were able to go out as a family and have a great time.
