Temple square!

 The next day we had breakfast with Cristal at Kneaders which Gunner declared the best place he has ever eaten! It is very delicious and happily there is one close to our house.

We got tot hang out with baby Elsie so that Cristal could go to work early then meet up with us later for fun.

The White family arrives at Temple Square.
 We did a little exploring in the Joseph Smith building.

This statue of Joseph Smith is the size of Goliath so if you want to imagine how David felt challenging him to a fight this would be the size of his opponent.

 Many statues of Pioneers.
 Ashlynn with the beautiful flowers.
 The priesthood is restored. Anybody else singing that in there head now?

 Then we headed over to tour the conference center.
 It's pretty amazing!
 This is the top of the building where they have trees and grass and flowers!

 Still of top of the building.

This is not on top of the building but some how if out of order.
 Meanwhile back to the top of the conference center.


We had a great time learning all about the conference center, tabernacle and the temple. Our feet were ready to head back  a little after lunch time.

Meeting up with my sister, cousins and a movie premier!

 Tuesday Andrew went to distribute posters to theaters for his upcoming movie, Greta's children still had school, and greta had a hair appointment... So I took the girls and we went to visit Cristal and baby Elsie!

Jordan, Cristal and I made to it do a session at the Provo Temple. Yay! I went to another temple.

We had a wonderful time and grabbed some delicious pizza after.
 Of course we got some snuggles from the cutest baby around!
 That afternoon we took the kids to Neptune Park.
Ashlynn and Paisy

 It's a pretty cool park!
The little daredevils made it all the way to the top.

  It was chilly!

After we returned home we ate some food real quick and Adam, Greta, Andrew and I headed to The premiere of The Saratov Approach.

It was excellent! I laughed and cried. It was really neat to get to hear from the missionaries and the actors when the movie was over. I can't wait to buy it!
Meanwhile Adam has made ( and by that I mean written and directed) a comedy, Inspired Guns and posters were going up this week. The preview was also playing with The Saratov approach.
His movie will be out in January.

The cutest Victorian Inn

 Sunday October 6th after the first session of conference and by the time the second session began we were loading up to head to Utah for Fall Break.

Technology is great, and we listened to the last session of conference as we traveled.

Pit stop! It's rare to stop and actually get out of the car for more than a bathroom break. Especially if you're driving with a boy. They are all about getting to the destination.









We enjoyed snacks and homemade ham and turkey crescents on our drive to Paige where we would be spending the night.

I have always thought this was so cute! The Victorian Inn. We had the sweet on the 3rd floor. The only rooms up there. We had our own staircase and everything. 

 I was in love! Everything was so beautiful! Andrew and I took this bed.

 Our little kitchenette.
 cute places to hang things.
 The boys took this bed.

 There were even 2 bathrooms!
 THe girls took the 3rd bed and Rigdon enjoyed the luxury of two chairs pushed together to make his own little bed.


 In the morning they had a yummy breakfast downstairs.
waffles, biscuits and gravy, eggs cereal, bacon, eggs... all yummy

 I made everyone pose all around with all the beautiful places.

by the fireplace..
 The lobby...

 By the front door...
 lounging...
 the grand staircase...
 I was just so tickled to stay in such a darling little place.

 But alas onward we must go! Back on the road again to get to Lehi!
Cousins here we come.
