Family Trip Downtown

Thursday, June 14, 2012

On Thursday DH went in to work and the rest of us headed downtown to check out the new City Creek Center and visit Temple Square.  The new City Creek Center was a beautiful, open space with fountains that were choreographed to music.  We parked in the underground parking and then went across the street to Temple Square.  After walking around the temple a little we went into the Tabernacle to listen to an organ recital.  Unfortunately MJ was not going to have the patience for that so I left after the first few minutes and took MJ outside to run around.  After the recital was over we went to the Visitor's Center for a few minutes and then went back to the City Creek Center for lunch at the food court.  Next we took the kids for a ride on the TRAX light-rail system (there is a free zone downtown).  We went a couple of stops and then got off at the Gateway.  Tan & family stayed there to visit the Clark Planetarium while I took my kids back on TRAX to our car and headed home.  It was an exhausting day for me trying to keep track of all 6 of my kids!  Thank goodness the older ones are able to help out with the younger ones!
