General Conference October 2014

My dad was unable to make it out for Conference weekend, so we took the opportunity to relax and watch it at home.  Kimie was in town from Japan, so we made plans to meet up with her after the afternoon session.  It took us longer than expected to get to Temple Square, and we ended up missing her. 

The guys stayed for the Priesthood session, while we gals hung around for a bit and enjoyed the scenery.

A Night at the Drive-In

October 2014

One of the most underutilized fun things to do is going to the drive-in movies.  Although most of them have closed, there is still one in Salt Lake.  Shin and Heather came out from California for General Conference weekend and we had a nurse available for Friday night.

Our babysitter fell through, and we were unable to find another on short notice, so we ended up taking the girls with us.  It would have been fine, but River cried through the whole double feature.  Yep, two movies, and she cried almost the entire time through both.  The Maze Runner and Guardians of the Galaxy.  She was fine before the movies, but as soon as the previews came on, she got upset.  I'm not sure what triggered her.  J took care of River during The Maze Runner, and I took care of her during The Guardians of the Galaxy.  Needless to say, I missed the one movie, and J missed the other.  It was an exhausting night.

Zuri did well, though, and fell alseep during the second movie.  She loved the experience so much that she kept talking about doing it again.

We brought snacks and drinks and camped out in the back of the car to watch the movies.

Aquarium

August 2014

 A new aquarium recently opened in Draper and we went as a family to check it out.  The girls loved being able to see the animals so close, and it has become one of Zuri's favorite nearby places (nothing seems to top Yellowstone though).  She is always asking to go the the "water aquarium."  She cracks me up.



















She was amazed how the penguins torpedoed through the water























By the end poor Kai was done
