Last week my wife and I stopped at a beautiful decorated light at a park in our home town. Last night we took the family and saw all the other lights in the display.
Elora's Lights
The rest of the lights were not as elaborate or decorative as the Tree of Hope. Mostly they were inflatables and dancing lights. They were fun and whimsical, but couldn't hold a candle to the tree. We loaded up the van--puppy included--and went for a walk. The displays and lights were on the edge of the park, just on the other side of the fence that separated a city park from homes.
There were glowing Minions, Disney castles and characters, Star Wars villains and heroes, and a couple of dragons, among other things. My kids were a little older than the intended age group, but they had fun. I have no idea what the puppy thought of the illuminated bags of air.
As we walked and took it all in, I asked my wife just how long Elora's Light had been in existence. We have no idea. Of course, the display was no where near the lights on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, or even the fun display put on by Layton City. But it was a nice way to get everyone outside in chilled December Utah air and to appreciate the work put in to honor Elora. She must have been someone very special.
