Draggin' Main St.

Brie, Ava and I went downtown to meet Sarah, Aiden and Anne at Radio Disney's children's event. The event was a little old for our kiddos, who don't know much about "High School Musical" and "Hannah Montana". They did get to watch the fireman spray their hoses for the kids to run through and all Brie needed to make it a perfect day was to get to stand by a cut out of Snow White. Look at her expression compared to Aiden's. Hilarious.We ate lunch with Landon, who works right downtown where we were. I walked back with him to his building to get money to pay for parking and he whipped out an all day parking validation!! Yahoo!! So, I decided not to head home, but to enjoy every minute of our free parking downtown. Thank you Landon.

We started on a walk down Main St. and stopped at good ole' McKay jewelers to get my ring cleaned. We then came upon Temple Square and had a very nice time there. Brie walked around the reflecting pool, we looked at flowers, talked about the temple, listened to the organ being played in the tabernacle, saw missionaries and went wandering through the Visitor's Center.

Ready. Set. JUMP!We walked up the long ramp to see the statue of Christ in the Visitor's Center. Brie was amazed that the room looked like the night time sky. She was especially amazed by the statue. She went right up to it , under the ropes and stared. Later, when it was time to go home, she made us go back up the ramp to say "Bye to Jesus" before we could leave.We got delicious Lion House rolls and honey butter for a snack and then walked along Main St. back to our car. It was a fun day with the girls.

It looks and sounds like and exciting day. Little children make activities so much more fun as we can see by Brielle's happy smiles. I really like the picture of the two girls sitting at the feet of Jesus.
