Temple Square

I decided to keep our tradition of seeing the lights at Temple Square the Sunday after Christmas.  The crowd isn't as big and parking is free.

Last year, Brigham really wanted to go up the ramp to see the Christus, but there was a long line and it was at the end of our visit so we were already cold and getting tired.  This year it was the first thing we did.

 Brigham was pretty excited and was even relatively patient.  We almost made it with the next group but were stopped just before.

 Brigham started getting a little anxious and so I had to walk around with him a little bit.

We made it back just in time to go up.  Brigham sat so patiently during the short presentation.

Then we went to see the lights.

 I don't know why this one looks fuzzy, it doesn't on my computer.

 We took a look inside the tabernacle.  I haven't seen the inside since the renovation.

 This isn't framed very well, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it in focus.

 It's hard to take sharp pictures without a tripod, but I did my best using pathway markers and such.  It was soon after that that I noticed how many photographers had brought tripods.  I guess I'm just lazy, I didn't want to have to carry one around.

 We stopped by the fountain to play a bit.

 It was good to see Nathaniel smile and not because I told him to.

 Obviously not in focus, but I liked how the lights looked like chicken feet.

 We went out on the Main Street Plaza, also something we didn't do last year.

 I loved the fun nativities from all over the world.

 We were getting cold and tired but we had to make one more stop.

We got to the nativity right as it was ending so we were in the perfect spot when it started again.

It was a fun visit.  Plus, I just got a new coat and it passed the cold test.  I only got cold on my hands and face.  So that's a bonus.
