Lights on Temple Square

As you know, my kids are huge 2News fans. When we went to Salt Lake we parked down on 4th South, and rode the Trax train up to Temple Square, because parking was free down there. On our way by, Sterling Poulsen was outside about to do the 6:00 news, so we stopped to watch. He asked us to be on his little news segment, and we got a picture too. You would have thought that my kids met Brad Pitt or something. The 2News people are famous to them.
I always love the lights on Temple square. We usually try to go on a weeknight when the crowds aren't as bad. This year, we went on a night that we knew was going to be warmer than the temps we are having right now. We were grateful there were no car accidents or other things to disturb our night this year. I like uneventful.
The Lobby of the Joseph Smith memorial building is beautiful.
And so is the tree.
Every year we see this bag piping Santa.
He is fun to watch. The kids are always amazed by him.

How neat that they got to meet him! I bet they will remember that forever.

Kyle's dad was an anchor on channel 2's PM Magazine years ago, so that station has a special place for us too, even though we watch KSL all the time...
