Down Town Salt Lake is beautiful always, but down town Temple Square at Christmas time is down right magical! Spending all day and into the night down there was loads of fun. Our little Gracie Lou brought us out so we could listen to her perform on her violin in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Boy oh boy! those are some very talented little kids and Gracie is right there among them.
The kids were enamoured at this HUGE Christmas tree.
We had some time to kill before it got dark enough for the lights to come on at Temple Square, so we did some improvising. I heard about a free scavenger hunt at the Grand America hotel, so we were on it. Of course we had to ride the Trax to get there and I'm pretty sure that was the kids most favorite thing ever!
I tell ya what, this was no easy peasy scavenger hunt. It was serious stuff....so I forgot to take pictures. But it just so happened to end at the sweetest "no pun intended" candy shop, where we were given a delicious shortbread cookie. Mmmmm! The candy shop just happened to be next to the coolest toy store ever! The kids liked it better than the cookie.
It was magical in there. Really.
We also enjoyed more Trax rides, tours on Temple Square, eating at the Lion House, and seeing the ginormous statue of the Savior. (A must see when in Salt Lake)!
We so love this tradition each year. Through the cold and all, it's worth every bit!
