So we finally made it up to Temple Square in SLC, UT. It was cold and crowded so I didn't get a ton of pics that I wanted. I took Brady's advice and took my tripod even though I felt like a dork. Once I saw everyone else with their tripods I felt even like a bigger dork cuz my tripod is old!! It works, but boy there sure were some really nice cameras there!
Oh well, not the real point for going. The kids enjoyed it and it helps them focus more on the real reason we celebrate Christmas! So worth the trip!
