General Conference

My conference tradition for the past few years has been pulling out our 72-hour kits and car kits to change clothes and throw out expired food. We also had to add Baby Drew and get him set up. But I've been trying to establish more family/kid friendly conference traditions, so the kids and I were hard at work before the weekend. We searched online and printed out a few helps to get us started. Add our primary journal and a few treats and we were ready!



I also told the kids they could sleep in their dino-tent, which was a great cause for excitement. The whole family was going to try to camp out in the front room, but Mommy and Daddy chickened out with Baby D at the last minute.



We missed Saturday morning conference because of soccer, but recorded it to watch later. Saturday afternoon the kids pulled out their primary journals and crayons and got to work. Of course, it didn't last the entire conference, and some of the small additions I tried to include didn't go off very well. Live and learn.
Sunday morning we got up early and headed to Grandma and Papa's to spend the day. We took our Conference Bingo cards and some treats with us. Bingo was great, even the adults got into it. We stayed the whole day at their house and had a lot of fun and learned a whole lot.
