Echoes of Christmas


Our family enjoyed an evening at Echoes of Christmas hosted in Liberty Park of Salt Lake City. It was an enjoyable evening of live signing, animals (even a camel!) and the Christmas story. Even the kids had a good time. You can tell it was a good time when your kids go from running around and rowdy, waiting for our turn, to quiet and paying attention.

"Echoes of Christmas is a Live Nativity that features 7 original songs that bring the true meaning of Christmas into our hearts. This 40-minute walking tour is a free event and open to all. Make this a family tradition. Dress Warmly."
Dates and Location
Dec. 11-13 & 15-17, 2014
7-9 PM, starting every 5 minutes
Salt Lake City’s Liberty Park
(enter from 900 S. at 600 E.)



Of course I had to geek out and traced a map of our path, along with stopping points, on my phone's GPS.

Temple Square Lights


A popular tourist attraction, this time of year, in Utah is the Historic Temple Square lights.  Our family has a tradition of riding the FrontRunner commuter rail to downtown Salt Lake City.  Although ridding the train doubles the length of the trip, it is our kids favorite part of the trip.
