Temple Square

After Andrew finally made it back to us in Utah we were able to make our annual trip to Temple Square with my family. I remember when it wasn't so crowded and you could enjoy it a little bit more. There are to many youth groups that go now and so it sort of takes away from the experience. We did enjoy the spirit of Temple Square though and the beautiful lights that surrounded the Temple. The only time it snowed in the whole 6 weeks we were there was while we walked around temple square. It didn't account to much (maybe a tenth of an inch!) but it was all the snow we got! I was disappointed when we left last week that it never snowed for us to take our kids out in and play but I guess next year maybe it will?!?

This is outside temple square across from where they are finishing up the new city creek mall. It looks really good and you can see a lot of the big, expensive, new to Utah stores starting to set up shop and take shape.

Poor kids were bundled up so tight they just look miserable in this picture, like half their faces are missing.

We were tempted to break our long standing tradition of the Old Spaghetti Factory at Trolley Square and just go right inside the Lion House for dinner but our wallets chose the cheaper option and went for Spaghetti! Ella was happy as a clam for Spaghetti and ate her whole plate plus two pieces of bread and milk, and of course her Spumoni Ice Cream (which I think her Dad snuck in a few bites for himself :)) We actually felt like we got our money's worth for a kids meal for once!
