An Outing

Yesterday (for craft day, that is right, craft day) we took this little girl back to the urologist at Primary Children's Hospital. She has kidney reflux. Gretsie did so well. She is very afraid of the catheter, so I promised her a guinea pig. I have been wanting one for the kids since before Gretchen turned one, so it worked out perfectly. Plus, we named her Hazel, so that makes her even better:) She is a she.

Anytime we want to make an outing out of something we go with Emily and the kids. They ran a few errands while we were at the hospital and then we had planned to go to a park. We drove around a bit looking for the perfect park and then the perfect parking spot and then found ourselves with an entirely different plan. We took the kids to see the conference center. I had never been there. It was amazing and my heart was so full. Not to be cheesy, but I could physically feel the Spirit. We were in the perfect place at the perfect time. It was fun to be able to point out that this was where conference would take place in just a few weeks. Here are some cute pictures that Emily took. Jake was very impressed with "all that sound from that little piano". They loved being on the top floor, they loved the escalators, the elevators, the high ceilings, wide hallways and especially being on top of a roof that not only has plants, but fountains & pools of water. Our tour guide was as perfect for our group as our outing was for us!!

(If you read Emily's blog, this might be a bit duplicated, but I want to document it as well.)

We were pretty lucky that when we left, we only had a few wet sleeves.

This was my favorite, I wish Gracie had come.

It was really a remarkable craft day.
