General Conference

It started innocently. We were just sitting around talking. When someone—I don’t even remember who—said it would be fun to take the kids to the conference center for conference. And that is just what we did.

We checked for tickets, but there weren’t any more available. We weren’t that surprised since it was such late notice. We decided we would go anyway and just wait in line. Then just days before we left, Sorena found some for the Saturday morning session. Sweet! We packed up the car, picked up Kelsey on our way and made a quick trip to Utah. We are warm here in Arizona, but the closer we got to Utah, the colder it got. The kids were freezing. On one of our stops, Ellie got out and then froze right in her tracks!

 

We arrived late Friday night, but dragged ourselves up early so we could get to Salt Lake. Ellie and Hunter were excited to be there and be in the same room as the prophet. It was fun to have Kelsey with us, too. She was excited to be there again. We took a few quick pictures to keep the memory in their books. Then again as we left and as we walked through temple square.

We had fun visiting with family and catching up as well. Gheen, Beth and boys came to see us at GG’s too!

The kids were on Fall Break, but we still had to get back so Kelly could get to work. We stopped in Cedar City to look at some more properties and to see Jared and Melanie. Then went on to St. George where we planned to stay the night with Grandma Hillman and Quin. We wanted to visit with them for a few hours then finish our drive home.
