Temples, baptisms, and Father's Day

My neice Emma, was getting baptized on Saturday of Father's Day weekend. So the whole family was traveling down to Salt Lake City. Mom and I decided to go a few days early and visit some temples and Rachel's family.
On our 1st day, we did a session in the  Salt Lake Temple. Then we went across the street and checked out the new City Creek shopping center. It was awesome!  Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera, but we still had fun.

That night Rachel brought her kids to the hotel to go swimming. While the older kids were swimming, Logan stayed in the hotel room. He managed to find my stash of yogurt pretzels.


The next morning, Mom and I went to Lizzie's music class! It was the last one before summer vacation!
Here is Lizzie playing the piano while Grandma watches!

Everyone put their hands in the air!

That afternoon, Mom, Rachel, and I did a session in the Draper Temple. It is a very beautiful temple.

Saturdy morning Emma got baptized. Again, I forgot to take my camera!  (I  must be getting old!)

That afternoon, Mike, Greg, Megan, and I went to Temple Square to hang around.
Here we are at the Conference Center.
We saw the Joseph Smith movie, and hung out in the Family History Library.
This is one of the few times that Mike is actually getting help on the computer!

The next day was Father's Day. After we got home, it was present time!
Meg made Mike a pillow out of Univ of Utah colors!
Mike also got a "zero gravity" chair. He loves it!

And the two combine quite nicely!
He also got tickets to a Hawks Baseball Game. We will go later this summer.
We ended up skyping with Drew that night. It was so good to talk with him!
Happy Father's Day!
