Conference

Conference was awesome! We had a great time at temple square in Salt Lake over the weekend. Zuri did amazingly well on Saturday. Sunday she was more on the fussy side, but I attribute her fussiness to a lack of a morning nap. She finally fell asleep just before the last session of conference began and slept until President Monson's talk at the end.

Since it was snowing Saturday, we didn't do our normal picnic on the lawn. Instead we went inside the Joseph Smith Memorial building, in the Bonneville room, where they had tables set out and you could buy box lunches. They said we were welcome to bring outside food in, so we picnicked in style!

After the second session Saturday, Zuri, Arial and I were all going to drive back to Provo while the guys attended the Priesthood session, but we had a little adventure. As we were waiting at a light in traffic, a young woman rapped on our window and told us that we had a flat tire. I hadn't noticed anything unusual in the car's performance, so I thought it must just be a little low. The car was lopsided, but so was the street. Not long after, though, people started pointing and laughing at the tire. I got a hold of Josh and pulled over at the first opportunity. Yep, the tire was flat...and so was the spare; which we discovered after we got it on the car and the car jack got all bent out of shape. We made it on the spare to the gas station where we filled it with air and drove to the nearest tire place, which happened to be closed (and in the worst part of Salt Lake). We called Dave and Corie, who came to our rescue--they brought a tire patching kit and an air compressor, along with a jack. They show up just as the Priesthood session of conference ended. After all our waiting, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the first tire, it just needed air--there didn't seem to be a leak. Just our luck, right? So, we didn't make it home until after ten; so much for an early night.

Zuri had fun waiting in the car, though. She got to try her skills at window faces.

Sunday was beautiful but unfortunately I forgot my camera. I took the first two photos with my cell phone. After the last session of conference, we were sitting on the lawn by the mirror pool and playing with Zuri, waiting for traffic to clear out. Two different photographers came by and took pictures of us. It was pretty cool! Last conference, they took pictures of us inside the tabernacle before one of the sessions. Zuri is just a camera magnet!

We were sad to see conference come to an end; it always seems to go by so quickly. On the bright side, Dad is staying the week with us! We are planning on going to St. George Thursday and spending the weekend out there!
