So, Jared and I have decided that when each of our kids turn 12 we will take a trip to Utah for General Conference and to tour the church sites. So, Caleb, Jared and I got on a plane (Caleb's first time) and went to Utah. It was a really fun trip. It was fun to have time with just Caleb and to learn more about the history of the church.
We went down to BYU and toured around and Greg and Jaxon and Makinsey came and hung out with us and toured the campus with us. It was so fun to see them.
Here we are on the BYU campus. I think Caleb thought it was pretty cool. He didn't realize how big a college campus is.
Jared and Caleb were able to go to the Priesthood session on Saturday night with Brad, Noah and cousin Jared. Then on Sunday, the 3 of us were able to go to the Sunday afternoon session. It was so neat to be in the conference center listening to conference. I loved how everyone just stopped and stood up to watch the prophet walk in. 21,000 people just dead silent. What a wonderful spirit!
Brad and Nikki were nice enough to let us stay with them for a couple of days. It was great to hang out with them and their cute family. Sunday night we just hung out and played games. So fun!!
On Monday, we toured around to a bunch of the church sites. We toured the Conference Center, the 2 visitors center, Tabernacle (we listened to an organ performance), the church headquarters and the Joseph Smith Memorial building. It was a really day and we learned a lot about some church history. The only bummer was that it rained the whole day we were walking around!

Tiffany Walker was so awesome to drive up to Salt Lake and meet us for lunch! It was so great to see her. They moved to Utah about a month ago and I miss her so much! It was wonderful to just sit and chat for a little while. I am happy for them because they have always wanted to get back to Utah, but I am selfish and want them to come back to AZ.
