On our last day in SLC, we went back into the city. On the way in it started to rain - we were not prepared for wet weather! Our first stop was the library. I loved it, especially the children's library. There were paper mache creatures all over and little rooms for kids to read in. One looked like Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

Then we took TRAX, the public train down to the Church Museum. They have a children's section, with Book of Mormon activities like building a temple,

trying to lift a replica of the gold plates, and activities from the modern day Book of Mormon lands - like dancing in these huge skirts.

When we left, it was really raining. Our next stop was the Conference Center. We had to duck under the eaves of the Tabernacle to try to keep dry. We took a very shortened tour at the Conference Center.

Our family in front of the Temple:

We met Uncle Jeff for lunch - another Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives pick. This was was a big dump, with big huge sandwiches. We headed back to Jack's to pack up and go. The kids were so sad to leave, especially Cam.

We drove back down to Cove Fort to spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa. Tuesday we got up and went to check out the work being done on the cabin, then finally made it home. It was a fun, busy week and we were so tired!
