December 2009
While were in Utah the first week of December for Grandpa Patten's funeral we went to see the lights at Temple Square. We didn't have too much time because we had to get Cory to the airport. It was freezing and snowing a little. We went around trying to find a parking spot. We were in the parking lot of a Church not far from the square looking for a place to park. We were in two cars, Shawn, Kim, Stacy and Christy were in one car and Mike, me, Cory and Jimmy were in another car. Shawn was in front. He thought he saw a parking spot and turned a corner in the parking lot...we heard a crash and Mike said "did they just hit a car?" We couldn't see because they had turned the corner in front of us. We stopped and got out of the car and sure enough they had turned the corner and slid on the ice...the car just slid side ways into a parked truck. Shawn and Kim's car got the worst of it! They hit the truck's bumper, it didn't really have any damage that was too noticeable. Shawn left a note on the truck saying "Merry Christmas-- sorry I hit your truck", along with his insurance info on the note. By then it was time for us to take Cory to the airport so we left while the others walked around Temple Square...I didn't feel too bad though because it was freezing outside and I was glad to be in a warm car! The kids took my camera and took some pictures so here they are!

The next morning we went back to Temple Square so that Jimmy could take some pictures for his Photo class...it was still freezing. Luckily we couldn't take too much time because we had to fly back home in the afternoon. By the time we finished at Temple Square I couldn't feel my feet or my nose! I don't think I would last very long in a Utah winter!
