Day 6 & 7: "This is the Place Monument, Temple Square, Elder Austin Rich's Homecoming, Wendy's Birthday and Swimming @ the Koffords!

Day6: This is the Place Monument, Temple Square, and SLC Airport to see Elder Austin Rich come home from Ghana Accra Africa Mission.

 Kate had to pee so bad that Wendy just pulled her skirt down and had her pee on the grass, right next to the monument. I'd have done the same with Heidi 2 years ago. Cause I did several times at the park. Darn the parks that don't have a public bathroom.

i loved going to Temple Square when I was young, so I wanted to take my children there so they can experience the warm spirit that is there.

 After visiting the North visitor center, we walked across to the Church History Art Museum. This was my favorite piece. Read the description below the picture.

The kids had fun dancing with skirts in the children's section of the museum.

The boys and Heidi fished.

Well, really just the boys did. It was time to go before Heidi had a turn. She was not too happy.

Going to the airport was the main attraction of the day. Well, everything was unique, but this was the real reason we went to Salt Lake. At 4:20 Austins plane was landing with 4 other elders returning home from missions. We waited earnestly to see a man in a white shirt and tie come down the escalator.

I have a ton more pictures other than this. I'll add a new post for that.

After the airport, we all went to In and Out in American Fork for dinner. Audrey sampled just about every drink that was left unattended.

Then Elizabeth invited us over to let the kids play in her yard. It was awesome. All the kids did under-ware swimming in her blow up pool.

Day 7: Happy Birthday Wendy! I went over early in the morning to put up this banner I had made for my mom, put a terribly boring breakfast together for her, ad took the kids so she could get ready w/o them. Not sure if it was that much of a help since she had to hurry and go to a wedding site she was worried about the tables, chairs and linens getting wet from random rain showers. She was doing the flowers, but always worries about everything else...

 Later that night, we did go to PF Changs at the mall with our sisters and 3 of Wendy's friends.
