Christmas Lights At Temple Square

After a hour of sledding in Sugar House we decided that the best way to end the night was to go downtown to Temple Square to see the great lights. At that time all the parking on the street was free, so you get to walk around downtown for 2 hours for free, which is a great deal.

However, finding a place to park on one of the busyiest nights was difficult, and we ended up spending half an hour looking for a place to park. If we had a little car it would have been way easier, but with a truck we needed a bigger spot. Once we found a spot we got out somewhere close to the Conference Center, which was also lit up.

But we were looking forward to seeing the best part of all. A special display was made.. a really old tree close to the Joseph Smith building and the Visitors Center was lit up with red lights. I know this doesn't sound too special, but what was great was that this tree is only lit up every four years, so for us it was a real treat. Just think about in four years Lizzy will be 7 and Jamie will be 6. So i guess for me it is a big deal. I got some great pics of another tree that was lit up with gold lights and there was the Assembly Hall that was lit up with red, orange, gold and purple (great fall colors).

We got alot of great pics and if you want to see them all you can check out our account at http://picasaweb.google.com/chasefamily19 which i will get Jared to post soon.
