Salt Lake City, Utah

Rachel had a doctor's appointment at Shriner's hospital on May 5th. It was in the middle of the week and Enoch wasn't able to come so Grandpa Fisher (who was staying with us for a couple of weeks) came with Averien, Rachel and I. We had to leave at 5:30 in the morning to make it in time for Rachel's appointment. The drive down to Utah went really well and the appointments went good. After her appointment we ate and then at the last minute decided to go and visit the church museum. Rachel had never been before and she really loved it. We had a lot of fun. The kids section was so much fun. They had dancing and other fun interactive sites. I want to go back with the rest of the family. Kaelen and Jacob would love it. Rachel really loved looking at all the church history items. She loved seeing things that the pioneers brought with them but also things from when the church was first organized. She also loved looking and learning about all of our prophets. We were able to see a replica of the pulpit at the conference center. The museum also had a quilting exhibit going on. They had quilts from the early pioneers to quilts made out of the tags from the back of shirts. It was so amazing. They had on display dresses from the 1800's as well that were all sewn by hand and worn as wedding dresses and for church. It was really cool. We had so much fun all of us together. Averien was really good as well. We always go to Utah at least 2 times a year and we never look at church sites. We need to next time with the whole family stop and visit temple square and other church sites near by. Heck we have never even seen the conference center. We need to all see that for sure and maybe even go to conference in it.
