Trip to Downtown SLC

Since we were checking temples off our list, Jaaromy suggested we go to Temple Square and make it official.  We've obviously been there many times, but we didn't have a nice group picture and plus, it's just a fun activity.

 When we got there I noticed the moon in between the temple spires.  I only had my phone and so I tried out the zoom.  Yeah, it's a little pixel-y.

Brigham always wants to go in the North Visitor's Center first.  He loves the cool space mural.  So do I.  We walked around temple square a little bit more after that.  I love looking at the temple model in the South Visitor's Center.  It's just so cool.

We had decided to make dinner part of our outing so we ate at the City Creek food court.  Even though it's noisy and a little chaotic, the boys like it because they can eat at McDonald's and Jaaromy and I can eat at Chang Chun.  It's win-win.

Then we walked back over to the plaza for our temple picture.  I didn't bring my camera.  I can't remember if I forgot it or I just didn't want to have to carry it around.  Either way, I decided to test my phone to see if I could take some decent pictures.

 I really like these pink flowers.  The pink is so bright it almost hurts my eyes.

 It was harder to focus on the right thing with my phone, but I think it did okay.

 Here's our group photo for the passport.

 The plan was to photoshop Jaaromy in later but, with the sun being where it was, it was too hard to get the lighting to match.  Plus, apparently we forgot to remember where he was standing so the angle is different too. Oh well.

 I'm really happy with how this one turned out too.  I like it a lot.

 This is always a fun shot.

 The boys always get a kick out of it.

 I'm really happy with how these turned out.  Even though the sun is behind the temple, the light is reflected on to it from all the buildings and such which gives it a really neat glow.  I did touch them up a little though.

 It probably would have been better to have been right in front of it, but there were people there.  Plus, I think the angle makes it look cooler.

 This one was kind of hard, but as is often the case, the first one was the best.

Not sure why, but I really like this one.  You can see Nathaniel just behind the light post too.  I think that makes it better.

It was a fun outing, I love going to Temple Square.
