Temple Square and Fireworks

Hello, family from everyone in Utah.

Yesterday, Tawnia, Clarissa, and I went to Salt Lake City. We tried to see the new Joseph Smith movie, but there were no tickets available, so we reserved tickets for next Friday before we drive home. We went to the visitor's center and saw "Testaments," and we looked at the exhibits there, including a new display on the family. And we went to the Museum of Church Art and History.

In the evening, we went to see Stadium of Fire. It was a bit strange, because it was the first, not the fourth. We tried to watch it from Rock Creek Park, but we couldn't find a parking space. We actually had to drive into Orem to avoid the traffic. We finally found a good spot -- the Maceys parking lot. (We had to be there at eleven to pick up Mindy from work anyway.) We sat on the grass, and we could see the massive fireworks that fill half the sky and the smaller fireworks over the stadium. Then the sprinklers came on. So we had to relocate to a bike trail by the creek across the street. Mindy got off work later than usual, but that was good because we missed the worst of the traffic.
