After the organ recital we went to the Garden Restaurant in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It's a nice restaurant with beautiful views of the city. Kate enjoyed eating avacado (and the menu) and the adults enjoyed deep-fried pickles!
After lunch we went on a tour of the Beehive House. One of the sisters that gave the tour was from Quebec. This picture was taken as we were walking to the conference center. I was a little sad that Kate was asleep. However I think the picture is still nice.
The Salt Lake temple really is a magnificent building. It's a little mind boggling thinking about how many years it took to build. It really is a monument of faith.
The inside of the conference center is huge. This picture was taken at the back of the balcony. To think that it can hold 21,000 is staggering. I didn't realize that the hallways around the entrances into the auditorium are mini art galleries. It makes sense to give people something to look at while they're waiting.
This is the mural on the top of the building. The top of the building is covered with gardens. Walking around on the top of the building, sure didn't feel like the top of a building, until you looked down of course.
Our guide was great. He was very down to earth and sincere. He took this picture for us.
After we enjoyed looking at the art display - the top two hundred pieces of art from the international contest that the church has every few years, we waited in the shade while Ken went to get the car.
Wendy and Kate and Wendy - yay!
On the way home to Wolf Creek we stopped in Ogden at Farr's for ice cream, yum!
