Trax, Temple lights and the Museum

We decided to actually go out and do something fun last weekend. We invited our friends, Wes and Saundra Nye, to ride Trax up to Salt Lake and go see the children's "I am a Child of God" exhibit at the Church History Museum and then walk around and see the lights on Temple Square. It was a blast. The gets LOVED riding on the "train". The giggled the entire time.



First we went to the museum. The exhibit was really cute. There was a nativity where kids could dress up and stand with baby Jesus, a place with blocks to build a temple, an area with puzzles on the wall, a nursery with babies to dress and lots of other activities. The kids liked it.



Then we walked over to Temple Square. The lights were beautiful. The prettiest part was the new area between Temple Square and the Joseph Smith Memorial building with the reflection pond. The lights there were gorgeous. It was freezing but the kids still had a lot of fun running around. About half way through seeing the lights Brynley started getting really tired and whiney so we had to hurry and leave earlier that we would have liked too. Trax was delayed and we were on it for about an hour. Brynley cried "wan go home" for about the last 20 min of the "train" ride. She was so tired... We had a great time on our trip!

I miss temple square. The lights here at the Mesa temple are cool, but there's just something neat about getting all bundled up and trecking through the snow. Plus the lights together with the snow are just beautiful. We went to see the temple lights a couple of times this last week...and I wore nothing but a light weight zip up hoodie. It just didn't seem right.
