Saturday

a Super Saturday

Today we had a Super Saturday with our Special Needs Group.  This year we didn't have a Production Specialist and the participants were really bummed.  They love doing a Production.  Wanda is a really good leader and came up with the idea to take the group to SLC to watch Meet the Mormon's that is being shown in the Joseph Smith Building.  Wanda and her hubby made a practice run so that she would know the exact amount of time to plan on and the times to catch the Train and Trax.  It turned out to be a great day.  It was a nice rainy day but most everyone came prepared with their umbrella's.  I brought a few extra to share and so did one of the other leaders.  I didn't hear anyone complain about the weather.  We had about 50 people show up and we had a great time.  Most leaders were over a few participants and I had Krista and Jessica.  We watched out for each other the whole time.  It was fun!
We met at the Ogden Station early in the morning.  There were only a few people that didn't show up that said they were going to. We had two people waiting for us at the Roy Station.  I was impressed that we were able to get them on with our group.  It went so smoothly.  Everyone seemed to really enjoy the train ride and even the trax when we switched.  I saw a lot of smiles.  
Even though I had already saw Meet the Mormon's it was really good to see again.  I had forgot a few of the stories and enjoyed seeing them all again.  I really like this show and think it is cool to see what Mormon's are really like and about.  Everyone should see it! ☺  After the movie we wiped away tears and hugged and went downstairs for a yummy sack lunch.  I was surprised to see the room full.  A youth group was having a Youth Conference and enjoying their lunch at the same time.  Everyone worked together so that we all fit.  There was plenty of lunch to fill everyone up.  We had extra time and so we wondered around the temple grounds a little.  There was a group dancing and so me and a few others went over to watch.  When the dance ended a Marriage Proposal happened.  She said YES and the cute couple hugged and kissed and everyone cheered!  It was fun to see!

It was a fun ride home visiting with Krista and Jessica.  These gals really are "special".  

Larry and the kids were watching a movie when I got home and so I went in to rest for a minute.  Then we went and visited our Mother's so we could enjoy our kids tomorrow on Mother's Day.  It's kind of hard getting around to our Mom's when we have the late church.  I liked visiting them today.
