We've wanted to take the kids downtown to check out the lights at Temple Square all month long. So, we decided this morning that today was the best chance to make that happen. Too bad the weather decided not to cooperate. Around 5:30 it started raining again. I mean, come on, when does it rain on the 23rd of December? Still, the showers put an end to our trip to Temple Square to walk around the illuminated grounds. Fortunately for us, it didn't put an end to us looking at lights.My sister had some discount tickets to Thanksgiving Point's light show. Rather than walking, this was a driving tour of holiday lights. We packed up the van and headed south to Lehi. The only problem was everyone else apparently made the same decision. I've never seen so many cars! They were backed up to the frontage road running in front of Thanksgiving Point. It didn't matter though. With some good Christmas music on the stereo, everyone was happy to creep along into the park.
The lights were amazing. There were so many different holiday elements to look at. From polar bears in the arctic, to elves at Santa's workshop this place had it all. Take a look:
As incredible as the light displays were, I think most would agree the best part of the tour came at the end. As you were leaving the festivities Thanksgiving Point told of the birth of the Savior with some beautiful illustrations. It was a fantastic reminder for the kids (and us) about the true meaning of Christmas.
Holiday Lights at Thanksgiving Point - 5 stars from our family!
