Trax and Christmas Lights!

Friday Night Heather's family and My family decided to take the whole gang on trax to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square. We had a great night full of excitement! Heather also had Teague because Nicole, Eric's sister was out of town. I think the favorite part for the babies was being on the train. Arlo was doing his best to keep Teague out of harms way and kept instructing him to stay behind the yellow line; but Teaglet was determined to get down on those tracks to play. Needless to say, Heather and Eric were kept pretty busy. Once we all got on the train everyone enjoyed the ride, Hay bay and ET loved standing and holding on to the rails to feel the jolt every time the train stopped, teague was trying to jump out of Heather's arms and go exploring and Arlo was busy watching out the windows, and was excited to sit next to the kids when they got sick of standing. Before we knew it we were there. We hiked a few blocks and got a bite to eat at the crown burger somewhat near the temple(the JB's right by it had a 1/2 hour wait). It was really crowded, but the burgers were yummy and it got us warmed up for the lights. As usual, it was beautiful at Temple Square. The babies seemed mesmerized by all of the lights and loved all of the space to run. When we got the the Nativity Scene and heard the story of Baby Jesus, Arlo turned to me and said, "Mom, can we buy those guys?" I giggled quite a bit and explained to him that the wise men, camels and baby Jesus were just to look at and not to play with he said "can I say Hallelujah?" Where in the heck did he come up with that one? we all got a pretty good laugh and then went on our way to see more lights. We got some great pictures of the kids and when we were all sufficiently frozen and tired, decided to get back on the train and go home. What a great night. We decided this is going to be a yearly tradition.
