Day trip to SLC

On Saturday, we went to downtown SLC and walked around Temple Square. There were quite a few weddings that day with lots of picture taking so we didn't stick around very long. We then went to the Church Office Building and went up to the Obervation Deck (no pics). I love going up there to see the whole valley. When we asked one of the workers there where the Salt Lake City Cemetary was, they told us and also told us where Brigham Young is buried. So we went to check that out next. It was just up a street east of the Church Office Building in a residential area. Totally random spot. We found this beautiful park right inbetween two apartment buildings. After that, we toured the roof of the Conference Center. As we were walking there, I tripped on a construction sign on the sidewalk and twisted my ankle. It hurt really bad right after but it was ok to walk on. But it did hurt pretty bad later. Luckily, it didn't swell or bruise. So I guess it wasn't that bad of a sprain. On our way home, we drove through the SLC Cemetary. That place is ridiculously HUGE! We were lucky to happen to drive by the headstones for President Hinkley and David O. McKay. I found out later that night that you could go to the office at the cemetary to get a map that shows where the other prophets are buried. We drove by a building on our way out but didn't know that was anything important, but it turned out that was the office. It was a fun but tiring day. Kenadie was really good the whole time and enjoyed being outside.

Kenadie's like...No more pictures, dad. Please!

Can you see that cute little family in the background? It was a family of 9 or 10 (7 or 8 kids, can't remember) and they all just got sealed together. They were so cute all dressed in white, running around while they got pictures taken. What an awesome day for them!

Here is the place where Brigham Young is buried, along with some wives and a child, I think. This is the view looking in. As you can see, there are some benches, one with a statue of Brigham and some kids. It was so quiet and peacful, we spent quite a while there.

And here is where he's buried.

Here are the headstones for Hinkley and McKay. They are made from leftover stone from the Temple and Conference Center.
