I love General Conference-- being together as a family and getting to hear the prophet is the best! One of our family traditions is to build a tent and face it towards the temple the night before conference.
Than we read the story of King Benjamin to our kids to explain why we do this crazyness :)
Payton & Brynley were big helpers in building the tent and mommy was glad that we weren't going to camp outside.
Even Tiki joined in on sleeping downstairs with us--(I'll admit I slacked and went to bed in our bed later cuz' I wasn't feeling to great)
During Conference Dave decided to look through his mission box and I had the kids coloring some quiet folder pictures for sunday. Overall it was way fun and releaxing-- we just hooked my laptop up to the big tv and streamed conference. Can't wait till the next one.
what a cool/funny tradition! i love it!! miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteLove the tent. That would have made me so happy as a kid!
ReplyDeleteis there a chance you could explain to me why you do this...I'm apparently not a very good Mormon...
ReplyDeletewhat a great tradition! love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea! What a great way to spend time together as a family before/during conference!
ReplyDeleteWhen did you guys get a dog?! ;)
Hey Ash the tradition comes from King Benjamin's sermon where the people had pitched their tents toward the temple before hearing him speak. Don't know the exact verse off my head but I'll get it--- and Ronnie-- Tiki our dog was actually our first baby we've had him for six years but when we we're in the apartment he lived with the in-laws till we had room :)
