Trip to Utah

My camera was left in my suitcase the whole weekend so I do not have any pictures of this trip. Hopefully my mother will send me some of hers and then I can upload them.

So the kids and I rode with my brother and his family to Utah over conference weekend. We left late Thursday evening and then drove home Sunday after the morning session of conference.

We had been planning this getaway since Liz was baptized but I wasn't going to be able to make it because Wayne had a test that weekend. But then I decided that the kids and I would just hitch a ride with them. Liz wanted to go to Utah to see all of the church history sights, so we decided to try to get tickets to conference so that it would make the trip extra special. My mother was able to get tickets for the Sunday morning session and she offered to watch the kiddos so that I could go with Darren, Liz, Dev, and Jules.

The kids and I stayed at Wayne's parents and got to visit with them a little. We also got to spend a little bit of time with Victoria and her cute little ones. Presleigh and Noah loved seeing their cousins.

Friday we spent the day at temple square. We walked around and checked everything out, and then got to watch the Joseph smith movie that evening. Saturday we spent the day shopping. We went to gardener village (my favorite) and then to the mall. That night we celebrated Lizzy's birthday with some tacos, cake and the nickelcade. We had a lot of fun. Presleigh loved playing the games and getting lots of tickets. Then Sunday we got to go to conference.

Conference was amazing as usual, I love when we are able to go to the conference center to enjoy conference live. I am so grateful for Prophets who are called of God to give us guidance and counsel. I look forward to conference every 6 months and this one was extra special because I got to enjoy it with my newly converted family members. It was a great weekend.
