Sunday Evening at Temple Square

This weekend is General Conference when members of the LDS Church worldwide listen to audio and video broadcast of talks from leaders of the Church. There are four two hour sessions spread over two days. It's a lot for kids to take in (it's sometimes a lot for parents to take in too) so Alicia and I are preparing our kids for the weekend. We made plans this evening of creating little activities for them to play during the sessions and this evening we took a tour of the Conference Center in Salt Lake. We showed them the 21,000 seat auditorium from which the speakers will speak and told them a little bit about what will happen. I'm sure most of it didn't stick to the inside walls of their early-life craniums but we did have a great evening together. We looked at the model of the temple, let the kids dip their hands into the fountains on Temple Square, and were even invited by the some volunteer missionaries to watch a presentation about families.
