I love conference weekend and last week we had a great opportunity to teach the kids about the importance of conference. I always take notes because it helps me stay focused and I get a lot more out of the talks that are given. For the kids we usually get treats and assign a treat for a topic that might come up, i.e. everytime they hear a speaker talking about the scriptures they can have a gummi bear. This time around we wanted to help them get a little more out of conference so we talked to them about writing down things that interested them or things they had questions about. It was fun to see how eager they were to participate. Megan got really into it. She would copy the speakers name from my notes and then write down words that she heard. We cuddled on the couch while she wrote words like obeedeeinse(obedience) and testmoneae(testimony). They felt like they were grown ups and I think that is why they had so much fun. I hope they retained some of the information too, but if they didn't it was still a great bonding weekend for our family. I couldn't find Tyler's notes, but here are some of Megan's. There was page after page of this...
