All my friends in Clovis were posting on Facebook how they went to Candy Cane Lane or Christmas Tree Lane, and I told Dave I was sad I couldn't go this year. His comment, "YOU get to go to Temple Square!" He was right...no more complaints! We had planned to go on Thursday but the weather was so bad, snowy, rainy, bad, bad storm. We knew it wouldn't be a fun night to see the lights. They even cancelled the Tabernacle Choir practice and This is the Place shut down for the day! It was crazy weather! So we went the next night, Friday. It was very cold, but no snow or rain! We caught the Frontrunner train in Orem and rode it out to Salt Lake. That was very fun! We met Eric and three of his kids there (Randa and Kai were home sick). It was sooooo cold! But it was still fun to walk around and see all the beautiful lights! We tried to get a few pictures but of course none of them do it justice. And getting all 5 kids to look at the camera was near impossible! Jackson finally gave up and went to sleep. We went in the visitor's center to warm up and eat a little snack, then caught the Frontrunner back to Orem. We had to wait half an hour for the train (the one we planned to catch went out of service right at that time!) and it was so cold standing out there waiting! The boys did so good and never complained! It felt so good when our train finally came and we could get on and sit down! We got home very late but it was a fun night! I want to do it again! Thanks Eric, Makayela, Carson and Jackson for joining us in our adventure! It was fun reminiscing how we were there last year when they turned the lights on. I want to do that next year. My favorite lights are the red trees by the Assembly Hall...they are just beautiful!! It's all very beautiful...I recommend it if you are in town!
