Temple Square 2008

Last night we went to see the lights at Temple Square. First we got to eat at Rubios which is always one of my favorite things to do. We thought that since Christmas was over that the crowds might not be as bad. Well, we were wrong. It was a nightmare to find a parking spot and we ended up in the Conference Center parking lot. As we entered we saw a sign that it was $10 to park there and there was no way to get out. I thought that was quite a lot to park. Oh well, at least it ended our horrible looking for a spot experience and we were close.
We were glad that Jim's parents and brother were able to join us. And glad that they
found a spot to park easier than we did (obviously parking makes me crazy).

The Temple is always beautiful.

We actually got to go up and see the statue of Christ. It is usually too crowded to
get up there. I think this was the first time that Liam was able to walk up there.
Gavin would not keep his gloves on, but it actually turned out to be fairly warm.
It was a great night to be outside looking at lights.

Liam took our picture in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

I LOVE the red and orange lights by the Assembly Hall.

Sigh. That sounds wonderful. The lights here in NY on 5th ave during the holidays are cool, but really don't compare to temple square. Fun to see pictures!
