Salt Lake City

Absolutely amazing! The missionaries told us there were over 11,000 pipes in this organ!



The weather was cold so I felt like a turkey dinner was fitting!



 



The kids checked out their candy after a good night of trick or treating!

Leaving the Salt Flats it was a nice straight 100 mile or so drive to Salt Lake City.  With our directions plugged in our phone we went on our way to the campground.  When we got off the highway we found ourselves traveling down a narrow road and ending up in an off road motorcycle park.  Once inside the park there was only one way to get out which was under a low hanging roof that we weren't sure we would fit! Karen jumped out of the truck and guided me under the roof and she was so concerned that she got up on the roof of the camper and made sure we would fit under, which we barely did!  Back on the road we called the campground and they informed us that the address in google maps was incorrect and gave us better directions!  After settling in at the campground, we decided to go scout out our Trick or Treat neighborhood for the kids. The kids have been so excited about Halloween, so we made sure to find a good neighborhood for them.  I even got into the spirit with them by shaving my head and letting them paint something on it!  The kids had a blast helping me shave it, but Karen wasn't so fond of it.  That night, we went out and had a great time trick or treating with the kids. Karen and Norman had a show to do in Salt Lake and it ended up being one of Karen's favorite so far.  The newscrew loved Norman so much that they actually let him sit at the news desk with the broadcaster's tie on while the other newscaster did the news!  Norman just sat there with his tie on and looked right into the camera!  The next day we went downtown to see the city and the Mormon Temple.  When we went into the temple we were greeted by two nice missionaries who gave us a tour of the grounds and explained their beliefs to us. We even got a chance to see the Tabernacle which was a work of art in itself!  When we were leaving Kaylee stumbled across some interesting nuts laying on the ground which we later figured out were chestnuts!  I guess we will figure out how to roast them!  We have been just ahead of the bad weather lately and this stop was no different with night time temps in the mid 20s and snow forecasted in just a few days!  On that note, we decided to head southeast to Grand Junction, Colorado!
