Salt Lake City

When we arrived in SLC, we went to Steve's house and spent some time with Steve. We were finally able to see Cortney since she started USU. My kids had a opportunity to meet Lauren and then we headed off to the Tabernacle to watch the David Archuletta/Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert on a big screen. It was an amazing concert and it was great to attend the concert with my whole Wall family.

On Sunday, we didn't go to church for various reasons. We were too tired to make it on time and Dani felt a little sick to her stomach. We walked to Temple Square from our hotel in the misting rain and loved it. We had a good view of the nativity set right next to the North Visitor's center. We visited the two visitor's centers at Temple Square and saw some new and familiar exhibits plus some gorgeously decorated Christmas trees. Our favorite exhibit was the model of the Salt Lake Temple where we could see the different rooms in the temple. They are a slide show where we could see the pictures of the different rooms. Jim and the older kids learned that there is a replica of the Big Dipper on the SLC temple. We went to check it out and there is a big dipper on the temple plus pictures of the different phases of the moon. WOW!!

We headed off to lunch with the family. It was a casual lunch, but it was fun to eat with the cousins. I couldn't resist taking pictures of my kids interacting with their cousins.
We woke up Monday morning with snow falling on the ground. My girls tried to catch a few snowflakes in their mouth - so cute! The snow wasn't sticking to the ground at first, so we head up to "This is the Place Monument" where there was plenty of fresh snow to play in. The kids had a great time playing and I got a few good shots.

A few pictures of my nephews - I think they had fun.
