Sarurday Conference...

One of the other reasons that we decided to head to Utah for Spring Break was for conference. My dad had gotten tickets to the Saturday Morning Session. We found out the day before that kids under the age of 8 aren't allowed in during conference. bummer. I volunteered to stay back with Tucker thinking that we could just hang out at temple square and then meet up afterwards and do the temple square thing. It was pouring rain that day. Tucker and I were stuck at the hotel because we thought that Ben had accidentally taken the car keys with him to conference. Tucker wanted to see the temple soooooo bad that finally I told him we could walk there. I figured if he wanted to go that bad, I would do all that I could to take him to the temple. Our hotel was only a few blocks from temple square. Yeah....bad idea. It was so dang cold! Tucker fell and scrapped up his knee before we were even out of the hotel parking lot. I turned right around and used that as a good excuse to stay warm and dry during conference. 15 minutes later I got a text from Ben telling me that the keys were in his pants pocket in his bag. I changed Tucker, hopped in the car and drove us to the Joseph Smith Memorial building. We had a great morning exploring the Joseph Smith Memorial building and trying to get as much out of conference as we could. After the morning session, it was so wet and rainy, we decided to just meet up back at the hotel and grab some lunch before heading back down to Provo. Tucker and I had quite the adventurous morning, to say the least. It was fun just hanging out with my little man! :)


SLC has these flags at some of the intersections. I think my dad enjoyed having the power to stop on-coming traffic while we passed! :) Gotta love my dad! :)



The rest of the day was spent in Provo just hanging out at the hotel. We were all due for a good nap after the busy few days we had had. The boys had to gear up for Priesthood session. :)







Who is this handsome man waiting to go to Priesthood session??? :)




This is what we did while the boys were away...



headed straight down to the pool! :)



The boys did meet up with us when they were done and we had a nice and relaxing time hanging out in the pool and hot tub all night!




Of course, when Ben is around, there is always some sort of 'feats of strength' contest! :) This time, a race.



Tucker just chillin' by the pool.




These two boys have so much fun together:







At the end of the night, we had to say good-bye. It wasn't so easy! I can't believe how fast a week flew by!
