Corey and I have been wanting to take the kids to Temple Square in Salt Lake to see the Christmas lights for a long time. The last time Corey and I saw the lights was December 1998. That’s before we were married. There is a lot that has changed on Temple Square since the last time we were there. We knew the kids would enjoy the beautiful lights. The day after Thanksgiving was the best time that worked for our schedules. Although I don’t know if we would go at that time again. Apparently as soon as it gets dark people come out of no where. We spent most of the day exploring the buildings and all around temple square with very little congestion. As soon as the lights came on we were shoulder to shoulder with all the people. It got a little crazy trying to navigate through the crowds. By the end of the evening we were tired and sore from walking. On the way home we stopped at In-N-Out Burger and had dinner. It wasn’t long after we got back on the road that the kids all fell asleep. We really wore them out.
