E family. It isn't very often that we are ALL together. There are 15 of us and my dad rented a 15 passenger van so that once we all arrived there we could all travel around together.My sister Laura and her family (The Albrechts) flew in from Oklahoma on Saturday. Debra and I met them and my parents at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple to attend the Open House.
Then Sunday morning my parents and the Abrechts picked me up in the "poligy-van" and we stopped at temple square where we wandered around and toured the Conference Center including the gardens on the roof. Although I have been to the Conference Cente
r many times, I didn't know there was so many neat things there that I had not seen before. My favorites were The Book of Mormon picture room that houses the original paintings by Arnold Friberg that are in the paper version of The Book of Mormon and the HUGE picture of Joseph interpreting the dream of the Butler & the Baker that was once owned by Napoleon Bonaparte.
From there we headed North to Idaho Falls where we had dinner at Angela's (The Maddocks) house and then continued onto our final destination.We rented a cabin out on Bill's Island in Island Park. We especially enjoyed the hot tub & the fire pit.
Here are some of the highlights.....
The Wildlife
Old Faithful & All the Hot Pots
Rafting Down "Big Springs"
The Cutest Kids in the World
And last, but certainly not least.........Mom was happy because she got her FAMILY PICTURE!
