Women's Conference 2009

Well conference started Thursday morning but Mom and I left for our hotel in Pay son Wednesday afternoon. We got settled in then headed north with a stop at Thanksgiving point for some oils. And up to Provo Cafe Rio to meet with the girls. Jennie and Becky were coming to the room with us Nicole would join us at conference in the morning. Chris and the girls also joined us for a delicious dinner..Yum Yum! Then we decided to go for a bit of shopping...

Welcome to IKEA where it's not just shopping it is full out entertainment.. We dropped Christianna and Victoria off at the play place and we were off and running.. oh, but first Becky wanted to try out this cumphy chair.

Then with Jennie being a live manikin we posed these poor handicapped toys into ...
YMCA
Can you see it?? No because I just erased the picture so
check the girls blog for the finished product.

There was time for a bit of Hid n see
Fun with the oven mitt puppet;


Not so much fun while trying to get the little hubby to follow the list and
pick up the kids on time.


Chris and Becky trying out the sea saw, Now how does this work???

I'm not sure but this doesn't look like a fun toy for anyone;



Then it was to the Hotel and Nicole Chris and the girls returned home we got settled in and ready for women's conference in the morning.
Conference was wonderful, and we even had time to check out a museum, but wish we'd seen it sooner as we'd have had more chance to explore. This was a fun way to display all those hangers from the dry cleaners.


This was fun ... they displayed the I spy with the pics and some of the models that were made to photograph.

More modern art.



This is very important... Don't move Becky's contacts or she may run into objects that are closer than they appear.


So conference had many faces, Some even resembled Super Hero's...


There was a good amount of walking so we got in some well needed exercise.


There were even some time for shopping and resisting some temptations.

and there was eating





We hung out with lots of fun ladies Here's Nicole with some friends form Salt Lake.


And because this was Jen's weekend here she is with Nicole...


With miss Becky...


With Grandma Call

So why am I the only one singing while everyone else is posing????

And there were long lines....
This was outside in line for the ball room, By the time i finally got in the building the class was full so I missed that one.. But I got in some shopping time . Found a neat signed pic for Ron for Father's day.


And Oh, we were definitely spiritually fed. with very wonderful speakers and classes that will help us in all aspects.


And of coarse there was plenty of picture taking.

Oh, did I mention that there were quite a few women and even some brave men there.



So was it fun yes. Was it worth it Yes, Will I go again. Not sure it was pretty crowded , and I may try education week next year. We'll see.

It was fun. Good job blogging about it all.

BTW: They stopped Education Week a few years back (so I heard) which is why Womens Conf is open to men too - I think.
