While in Utah we HAVE to go to Temple Square with the kids. This time instead of going through the temple visitor's center, we toured the Church History Museum. Here is a family photo in front of an actual pioneer cabin that was built by pioneers who first arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. It was very small. I am not sure if our family could have survived such close quarters.
This photo in front of the Christmas tree grossed out our kids. They all had to look away for a moment.
Here is an exact replica of the podium in the Conference Center. Stone and Jeffy are practicing for when they are called to the Apostleship in a few years.
This is what the podium looks like from the Prophet's perspective. Notice the white leather arm rests, the analog clock in the upper right hand corner, and the computer screen in the center. The computer screen displays their talk in addition to the two monitors that are in front of the podium.
Here is the Hoopes family getting ready to embark on their journey West with our covered wagon. It looks like a couple of our kids are staying back East, and joining us later.
Claire and Olivia have to travel to Zion via the Atlantic Ocean. They look pretty comfortable in their assigned bunk on the ship.
Richard and Aiden are standing in front of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and Hyrum Smith's death masks. These are fascinating to see. Without any actual photos of the prophet, this is as close to a true likeness as we will get.
