David has a tradition that he got from his Dad. After the boys turn 12, the next General Priesthood session, he takes that child to Salt Lake City for the Priesthood Session. The visit Temple Square, do baptisms at the Salt Lake Temple, and visit other sites in Salt Lake. They stay at our friends' house in Tooele. It's about a 45 minute drive each way, but they really enjoy their visit with our friends Tim & Kathy. David was really impresssed being around their family. He loved this quote by Spencer W. Kimball and had Eric take a picture of it. Sadly, this is the last of our boys! Maybe someday I'll get a turn!!!!
He's sooo cute!
Here is a picture from the top of the church office building. Well, I think that's what they said...I wouldn't know since I've never been there!! (Yep, David reads this, so that's for him :) 
Sandra mentioned that when she was in Salt Lake a few weeks ago, her kids suggested that they go see President Hinckley's grave. I thought that was a great idea, so mentioned it to David & Eric. It was pouring down rain all day Saturday, so they didn't go around the rest of the cemetary. 
Here is Eric in front of the waterfall at the Conference Center.
I'm really thankful that my husband is such a wonderful guy, and a terrific dad. I hope the boys feel so inspired to keep up the tradition when they're dads.

What a great tradition! :) I know that Eric was very excited to go.
That is so cool! It is definitely a neat feeling to see the prophet in person! Even if he is just a dot in the distance. ;)
That is an awesome tradition!!! Hopefully we will have a boy some day so Nick can do that with his son, I know he would love it.
That is so cool & now that we have a website we all get to see the pictures of their trip. Thanks for posting that! I do have one questions though, when did Max take the boys to the Priesthood session of conference? I must have missed that story...
That's really neat! Our family had a tradition we would go stay at a hotel right next to Temple Square a few days before Christmas every year. I always look back on those trips with such fond memories. Thanks for posting those pictures!
