Fish, Trains and the Lights at Temple Square

I've wanted to bring the kids up to see the lights at Temple Square for some time.  This weekend we made that happen.  After a fun filled day with cousins we headed up to Salt Lake.  The drive went well and we parked under City Creek Center, I think that is what it's called.  We walked towards Temple Square and were there prior to the lights coming on so we stopped in at Deseret Book and the boys played with an Apple cider making station.  It was entertaining for sure.  We spent just enough time in there that we came out and the lights were on.  We walked in and enjoyed the lights. The kids were impressed by the details and how every branch was lit.  We went in and checked out the tabernacle.  It is quite an impressive building.  We then went out and saw the nativity, always good and a childhood memory for me.  We then walked around to the front and checked out the mirror pool or reflective pool.  The kids liked that as well.  It is all impressive and quite beautiful.  We stopped in at the Joseph Smith memorial building, listened to a live choir, saw the huge tree and then the highlight, we went out the revolving door.  Jack spotted it and was eager to try it out.  He and Andy both made one and a half rotations in it. Who knew that would be the highlight? Or was it?  
We went back down to City Creek in search of ornaments, no luck but Andy spotted fish in the creek and was quite excited.  We had to examine the water feature more carefully the rest of the time we were there in search of more fish.  Yet another highlight. 
There were a lot of people in the mall and around Temple Square.  It was busy,lots of trains running and posts of people on them.  Jack really wanted to ride the rails.  We did.  Traxx is free downtown so we went for a couple of stops, got off and rode back on another train.  Jack was in heaven and the rest of us enjoyed being there wit him.  Yet another highlight of the trip. 
Hopefully this is a positive  experience that they will remember fondly.  I have always enjoyed the lights on Temple Square and am grateful to have shared that with my own kids.  Certainly it was an enhanced version with Apple cider brewing, revolving doors, fish and trains but what does that matter? We had a good time.
