We left the house early on Tuesday morning and headed to the Trax station. We rode the train into downtown and spent the whole day there seeing the sights. Steve had to work that morning and met us downtown that afternoon. Our first stop: The Church History Museum. Here are the kids trying out bunks that are like the bunks on ships that LDS Converts came to America on.
Lunch Break!
Next we headed over to Temple Square. In the South Visitors Center Addy made some friends from Australia. She showed them around the visitors center and told them all about everything they saw. Her tour with them lasted a good 30 minutes or so.

Meagan, Lisa, Ed and Josh
Emily, Aubrey, Addy, Allyson, Zac (yes he is that much taller than I am) and Steve
In the Legacy Theater watching Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration. It is an awesome movie and if you click on it it will take you to a link where you can watch the movie. I highly recommend it. If you aren't a member of our church and want to know more about our history, this is a great place to start.
Taking a tour of the Beehive House
Last Stop: The Conference Center. Steve is talking to Addy about this picture of Ammon. We had just read this story in the Book of Mormon a few weeks ago.
It had been a very long and very hot day and the kids were exhausted.
The whole gang atop the Conference Center
Aubrey trying on Zac's glasses on the train ride home. The train was pretty full on the way home and Zac and Josh had to share seats with this sleeping guy in the background. He was sound asleep when we got on the train. He was asleep for most of our ride with him. When he woke up it was pretty funny to watch him. All of the sudden he was surrounded by kids and he had no idea how they got there.

Zac and Josh. Too bad I didn't get sleepy head in this picture.
Just checkin' a little e-mail on the ride home.
All of our good snacks were depleted and we were down to carrots. The kids finished off the whole bag on the train ride home and Addy didn't even complain that there was no ranch.
Mormons are all over the news these days. To learn more about us and what we believe, or to request a free copy of The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ, click here.
