A Quick Trip
While we were in Utah, we had the privilege of staying with my brother Todd and his wife Aubrey. He fired up the grill, and made us all some hamburgers and hot dogs. We even had indoor smores, made in the oven. We had fun with my cousin Erick's X Box, playing Scene it, and Halo. We had a most wonderful time visiting friends and family. The last shot is of Josh's first snow experience.
Thanksgiving Day
We had a great Thanksgiving celebrated in Park City. The kids were fortunate enough to use the jacuzzi with their Uncle Mike. He is actually underwater in the picture. Mom (Kathy) made her famous homemade rolls. They were very scrumptious! Since this was Josh's first Turkey day, I got a shot of him with dinner. He didn't really want any though. The kids put together a cute little skit for the rest of us. They did everything by themselves, even the paper feather hats. It turned out pretty darn good.

Tour of the Conference Center
While we were in Utah, we decided to take a tour of the conference center. There were a lot of interesting facts about it. For instance, it seats around 21,000 people. Amazing! This first shot is of Brooke's brother Paul, their family minus Maddie, an us on top of the CC. It had an amazing view of the valley, and of the Temple. It was pretty.
This is also on on top of the CC. The tour guide told us that this is how the Pioneers saw the valley as they first entered Utah. He told us that this is the only unkept garden that the Church has. In the spring, this is full of wild flowers, and is quite colorful.
This is on top of the CC too. It represents all the people on the earth that will receive the Gospel. You can even see our reflection in it.
Brooke and Ryan listen to the words of Jesus, or at least pretending to.
This art gallery holds all of the original artwork of the Book of Mormon. You can view this artwork in your gospel art kit.
This was taken on the bottom level of the CC. I just thought it was cool.
This last shot is of one of the Christmas trees that was in the CC. I thought it was pretty cool. It says Follow the Prophet in big letters, and has a picture of all of the Latter-day Prophets. Unfortunately, someone decided it wasn't good enough so they started to take it down right in front of us.
