Christmas Train Ride

A week before Blaine and Kristin got married in the Rexburg Temple, Kristin received her endowments in the Salt Lake Temple. JC made arrangements at work so we could both go down to Salt Lake and be there with Mom & Dad, and Blaine. Going to the Temple is always a fulfilling way for me to spend an afternoon.
After we were done at the Temple, we all went to find Jamie and made plans to meet up at "This is the Place" Monument Park. When we got there we went in and looked around the little gift shop and decided to take the train ride through the little town and boughtr our train tickets. Jamie and I ran back to the cars for extra blankets and made it back in time to load the train with everyone else. We got off at the first stop and had dinner at an old hotel. Just as we were finishing up the train had come back around and we got back on and finished the tour through the cute little town all lit up with Christmas lights. As we rode around the wind was blowing which created a slight sting on our cheeks. We couldn't help but feel for our pioneer ancestors who had to travel in this weather as they made their way to the Salt Lake valley and other parts of the country.
Thanks again for inviting us Mom, Dad, and Jamie! We had a ton of fun!!
