Several months ago Jon decided that he wanted to try and take Mason to his first Priesthood session in Utah at the Conference Center. He scored some tickets and also asked his dad if he would want to join them. I tried to convince him to fly but they decided to drive Larry's car and make it a fun road trip. Mason missed school on Friday and they left Vancouver about 8:00 am.
That evening they stayed in Boise, ID which is just over half way to Salt Lake. Mas was excited to stay in a hotel, go swimming and out to dinner! The next day they finished their drive with not much time to spare. Jon had forgotten his tie so they had to make a quick purchase and get some lunch before they headed off to the Conference Center. 
They had a great time attending the Priesthood Session here. Jon said it was huge and couldn't see very well but they loved the experience.
I love these pictures with the Salt Lake City Temple in the background! After Priesthood the three of them headed to Ogden to spent the night at his Aunt Linda's house. They had a great time visiting, eating and laughing together. Sunday morning early they left her house to head home. They had been in Utah for less than 24 hours. They only made a few stops for lunch and gas.
But they drove all the way home that day and were at our house by 7:30 pm. I was amazed that they made it so fast. It was a whirlwind of a trip for them but all three of them had a fabulous time.

Going to Priesthood Meeting together is as good a Father/Son activity that a family can plan. These experiences, doing the very best of things, will make a lasting impression on Mason. Good job.

What a great experience for Mason. It's good for the boy to have some "man" time!
