Weekend Road Trip

We took a really fast trip to Utah this weekend to see conference. Rodney's friend got tickets so that we could go with him. Notice in the picture that Gracie does not have her seat belt on. I think I told her at least 50 times to put in on this weekend.

My brother Travis was actually in Boise on Friday and Saturday so we stopped and had dinner with him on our way past Boise. We ate at a Bask restaurant. The food was really good and there was a lot of it. (Yes Rodney is a funny color, No he is not sick he was photoshoped into this photo. Travis has the photo the waiter took with all of us on his phone.)

As many trip as we have taken to Utah in the five years that we have lived in Cascade we hardly ever stop at the rest stops. We did this time and the kids thought is was a blast. They loved having some grass to run around on. We have no grass in our yard and think it is a real luxury.

Will is not the easiest child at this time in his life and threw a tantrum when ever we tried to put him in the car, hold his hand, put him in a shopping cart, stop him from bolting across a parking lot, or anything else contrary to his plans.

This is me waiting for our friends at the Utah Capital building. It was such a beautiful day. The weather was perfectly pleasant and conference was great.
This is Rodney in the parking lot for the General Authorities and other leaders of our church.
If your wondering how we parked in here Rodney's friend has the last name of Monson.
Here we are at the conference center.
Here is a picture of the podium from our seats. It was really cool being this close and actually watching the speakers in person. I have been in the conference center once before for conference but was clear at the back and ended up watching the big screen instead of the person speaking. Thanks Scotty for sharing such a wonderful experience with us.

So neat, Rachel. You're family is so cute. I think Will and Pete would get along great. He has an agenda as well, which usually gets foiled.

Hi Rachel!!! I don't know why I don't visit your blog more! I am just going to have to add it--I usually just visit from Shelly's. Looks like you had a great trip to conference. We took our YW down on Saturday for a session. You look like you're getting fit!!!!
