General Conference Trip

We started our Spring Break a little early by taking a road trip to Utah for General Conference. Jason's parents joined us for our adventures. We left Wed. and drove to Las Vegas for the night. We had an amazing breakfast buffet at the Bellagio, hit a couple tourist spots for the kids.



Our next stop was Zion. We spent Thur. night there and part of Friday, touring the canyon. We headed on to Provo where we met up with Jason's brother and his son who flew in from Iowa. Here is cousin Joshua with the kids.


After dinner we parted until Saturday morning. We spent the day together and then the guys went to Priesthood session. It was Darren's first time to Priesthood session, and it was extra special to be there for the live conference, along with his Dad, Papa, Uncle & cousin.





Sunday morning we woke to 3" of snow all over our motorhome and campground. What a treat! The Easter bunny left a few small treats, but nothing to get in the way of our Sunday morning attendance at Conference.



It was a first time for me and the boys to attend conference live. Aside from Ryan's non-stop cough through the entire conference, it was perfect! Nana stayed behind in the motorhome to watch Conference on TV.



What I should have taken pictures of are some of the activities we did while driving. We spent many hours playing games at the table. Nana and Alli colored, played My Little Pony, any many other fun things. It was so great to spend some quality time with Nana and Papa. It was a great trip! Here are some random moments:

What a great trip! I didn't realize Darren go to go to the live deal for his first time. That's really special. As usual, it looks like a party on wheels for the Hansens. You guys know how to travel in style.

What an awesome trip! And especially neat for Darren. We're planning to go to Conference in October. Hey, next time your in Vegas with a little more leisure time on your hands, call me! Of course, I'll probably be in CA before you're in NV again, but still ;)

What an awesome spring break! I remember my first session in the conference center, right after it was built. It was so amazing to be in that incredible building sitting in the same room as the prophet. How special for your kids to get to experience that! And as always, loving the "Hansen party on Wheels" as Rebecca said! Coolest way to travel!
