General Conference

Ethan turned 12 this year, so we're trying to do the tradition of taking them up to Conference when they turn 12. Ethan was SOOOOOOOOO excited (as was Lafe :) )!

Ethan at the airport -
they got through security in 20 min.! I wasn't even home from dropping them off yet!
This is actually on the way home, but isn't it cool?

The Waterfall on the Conference Center

In the "picture spot" in front of the Temple.


Standing by the Handcart that his Great-Grandfather made for the Church History Museum.


In the Tabernacle

In the Conference Center - They went to 3 sessions!!! (no fair)

Leaving the Priesthood Session - Beautiful!

O.k., so funny story: Lafe calls me as soon as the airplane hits the ground in SLC and had forgotten the tickets to Conference!!! So, I frantically call everyone we can think of that is going to conference to see if they can take them up, but nobody was home. So, I call the Conference Center (did you know you can do that?) and they said I could fax them up and they'd reprint them - I figured this had probably happened before. So, phew - they got their tickets. This was also Ethan's first time on an airplane (that he remembers) so that was really exciting, too! All these pictures were actually taken on Lafe's phone - that's why some are not so clear - because our camera is breaking and the camera on his phone is actually better quality than our normal camera - time for a new one!!! They had a great time!!!!! So glad they got to go and have that memory!!!

Looks like they had a good time--I'm sure Ethan loved that father-son time. Makes me want to have a boy someday so Ben could enjoy that type of thing!
