Corey and I\u00a0 have been wanting to take the kids to Temple Square in Salt Lake to see the Christmas lights for a long time.\u00a0 The last time Corey and I saw the lights was December 1998.\u00a0 That’s before we were married.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Apparently as soon as it gets dark people come out of no where.\u00a0 We spent most of the day exploring the buildings and all around temple square with very little congestion.\u00a0 As soon as the lights came on we were shoulder to shoulder with all the people.\u00a0 It got a little crazy trying to navigate through the crowds.\u00a0\u00a0 By the end of the evening we were tired and sore from walking.\u00a0 On the way home we stopped at In-N-Out Burger and had dinner.\u00a0 It wasn’t long after we got back on the road that the kids all fell asleep.\u00a0 We really wore them out.<\/p>\n
