Temple Square

-







Every December my children and I visit Salt Lake City's Temple Square during the evening to enjoy their wonderful light display. This year we decided to go during the daylight hours instead, which wound up being so much better! I think we may do this every year!

Usually in the evenings, at this time of year, Temple Square is packed with people. As a result, my children are never able to get a close view of the large Nativity and we never even attempt to go in the building housing the Christus because it is usually wall-to-wall people.

This time we missed seeing all the lights and didn't get to hear choirs singing, but we were able to see everything else and not have anyone standing in our way or shuffling through a crowd! It was great. Also, the day we went the sun was shining and it warmed us up!

What great pictures! We got to do a 'drive-by' of the lights on Temple Square this year at Thanksgiving time - it was SO crowded and we had tired kids so we weren't going to tackle that one! I wish we lived closer so we could have found a better time to take them!

Thanks for the link to Macmama's baby bump pic, that's just too cute!

Hope you're having a great week - take care!

My 1st Half Marathon of 2013!

-

I ended 2012 with a GAIN (weight that is) but I started 2013 with a BANG and ran a half marathon yesterday (well 15.1 miles actually)! And my children both ran a 10K (6.2 miles). I am so proud they run with me. The race was inside the Olympic oval which was fun to see. I love my BLING (below). My next half marathon is in 19 days! It will be a FUN run and I cannot wait to run it. I ran 6 half marathons last year and I hope to run even more this year. I ran 2 miles more than a half marathon because the line to turn in the timing chip was long. Funny thing about it is my friend knew she was two laps behind me. Because I kept running so did she. She was so mad when she found out she could have stopped earlier.  After the race my daughter passed out cold. I think she is ready for a day of rest after 3 days of snowboarding and a day of running.

Fun in Florida at Walt Disney World!

My children and I spent nine days in Florida at Walt Disney World with my best friend. We had fun, but it is good to be back in the dry heat! My children and I cannot stand the humid weather! The last time I was in Walt Disney World was 15 years ago. I loved it. I decided it is far too big of a place when you have small children. Disneyland is so much better for the young ones because it is smaller.
