Branson
Over Conference weekend we went to Branson Missouri! Grandma and Grandpa Cluff got a trends west condo and we all met up for conference and an early Easter! Casey and Barb, Tyler and Floris, and Nick and Corie were all able to make it. We had 18 of the 54 grandkids were there and that seemed like a lot!

Before Casey and Tyler arrived, we went on the Duck Boat! It was a bus that drove around and then right into the lake and turned into a boat! When we were on the water the captain let the kids all have a turn driving. It was a good time and the kids sure enjoyed it!

Elizabeth driving the boat!

Lillie taking a turn at driving!

Rawlins with his "Duck" whistle... so glad he didn't know how to blow it and wished the others kids didn't either!

But the biggest kids of all had it all figured out!

Who isn't always up for ice cream!

Conference
We were able to hook up all our electronic devices and make it possible for us to have conference up in all three rooms! It was fun to have different bunches of kids for different sessions. But mostly our and Nick and Corie's was the "little kids" place, Tyler and Floris' was the "teenager" place and mom and dad and Casey and Barb's was the "grown up" place! We had such a great time and are so grateful to mom and dad for making it all happen and making it a great time!

Ours and Nick and Corie's place. Hence Kate and Lillie! I wonder who the genius was that brought those coloring books and Crayons!! It kept those two intertained the all 4 sessions, believe it our not. Notice the bowl in front of them too. It had a variety of different things in it througt the sessions, cheese balls, m&m's, jelly beans, ect. Everytime Christ, phrophet, prayer, or faith was said, they got to take one. Surprisingly enough, it really worked for these two! Great idea Corie!
