First RON Larsen Reunion

Our actually reunion start day was Thursday (so everyone arrived by Wednesday night). We arrived Monday night (my kids, Logan and I). Cole and Erik stayed home (we have Cole in a 5 week program at SAARC we didn't want him to miss).
Day 1: Tuesday, June 30
Activity: Salt Lake City Temple Square

(Jase, Whitney, Brynn, Ramie, Tanner, Conner, Kylee, Kayla, Lindsey, Sienna)
Carly and Courtney wanted to stay home. Tyler had to work.
The kiddos were such good sports. It was quite a hot day and we kept asking them to pose for pictures.
Lindsey and Kayla love to be together.
We got a tour of the Conference Center it is so amazing. I love the smell of the wood inside. The art work and paintings gorgeous. The water feature very cool. We even got to sit on the front row of the conference center auditorium - it is huge.
The highlight of our day was we meet a NEW friend on our tour who wanted to be in our FAMILY picture (smack in the front!). Lindsey and I on top of the Conference Center. What a view. It is amazing; plants, grass, trees, water falls all on top of it.
We went into the visitor center... I love the amazing painted walls and huge statue of Christ.
We toured the Beehive House and learned about Brigham Young. He had several wives and a slew of kiddos. I loved learning about him. The kids loved the lemon drop candy they got at the end of the tour.

Everyone was starving when we were done. We picked Uncle Kurt up (he works in the new Family History Bldg. -it has only been open one week and a few days) and grabbed Burger King.

Got home and went down to the creek - pics to come!
