Mary-Gail saw the horses and the carriage rides and begged to go see the horses. Becca chimed in with her, and so instead of going inside Temple Square, we went to see the horses. Lovey, ever the romantic and sweet husband and father that he is, treated us all to a carriage ride. Mary-Gail nearly collapsed she was so excited!! She bounded into the carriage and began chattering about everything. Our driver, Mr. Chris, couldn't start his "tour-spiel" until Mary-Gail calmed down. We bundled up with the blankets and off we went. Our horses name was Tom, and he was just as vocal as Mary-Gail, with lots of "neighs" and blustering whinny sounds. Mary-Gail thought it was fantastic!
Mary-Gail got her wish - a carriage ride!
Did you know that horses can hear the stoplights changing? I kept noticing that our horse, Tom, would begin walking forward just seconds before the light changed green. Mr. Chris confirmed that the stoplights' sensor makes a high-pitched noise right before they change. The horses hear it and understand that the noise means "Go!" (That and Tom had been pulling carriages for 12 years, so he definitely knew the route and noises.)
Such a sour look on this tired girl's face as we wait for Daddy and the double-stroller
I snapped the picture of the nativity and turned around to see this beautiful statue.
It made me tear up. A Mother and her children...
The Salt Lake Temple
The headquarters for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
An amazing feat to build this beautiful temple. Worked commenced April 6, 1953, and was completed April 6, 1893 (40 years)
Angel Moroni, sounding his trumpet to all the nations...
