So, the conference was held August 2-5 in Nashville at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. I LOVE conferences like this! It is such a fun, exciting environment and it reminds me so much of my FFA days full of conferences and conventions. We met lots of great people. Tom saw a lot of people he has met at previous trainings. It was so nice having my mom there with us. She got to have lots of Grandma time and I got to participate a lot in the conference too. Boy Scouts is great about including spouses and families in on things. Anyway, here are some pics from the conference. 
This is us at the beginning of one of the sessions. 
That's my mom in the middle on the right. That was our room. It was so small so we felt pretty crammed...but the beds were comfortable. Mom spend a lot of time out on that balcony reading, talking on the phone and knitting while Taylor napped.
Happy Max
Taylor took my nursing cover and carried her baby around in it. She's so funny and is a really good mom to her lucky little babies.
After a swim. Taylor's hair and eyebrows were crazy wild! I love this pic of her with her little head and feet popping out. 
This was at lunch with my mom...there were these southern gentlemen sitting at the table behind us who offered to help when I was carrying a tray full of food and Max...well they caught Taylor's eyes. She would turn and look at one over one shoulder and grin and then turn and look at the other one over her other shoulder and grin. She was definitely flirting. It was pretty cute...It's cute now while she's not a teenager! :-)
flirting and loving every minute of it...later that night Tom and I ran into one of the guys in an elevator and he said "Your daughter is so beautiful!". I guess she caught his eye too! :-) 
This was the inside of the hotel. It was huge and so beautiful. We did tons of walking during this conference but everywhere you went, you walked through these amazing atriums. 
He's so sweet!
This was a 'show' the hotel did everyday. Just these gals that would blend in with all of the plants and then walk around and do neat tricks. We were all mesmerized by them. 
This was also inside the hotel. 
downtown Nashville, quite the happening place. There was live music being played and sung all over. 
Ready for the conference.

Sounds so awesome! I was confused about the plant part though, what was going on?
Emily :)
Okay, I didn't explain it very well...if you look closely at the plant picture and look towards the top of that big plant looking thing, you can see the lady's face. Cool, huh? The hotel called it the 'DiVINE show' and it was just these girls totally covered in fake plants...even their faces were totally green and they would walk around the atrium and do different tricks with their bodies (ballet and yoga poses and such)...anyway, it was really neat!
ooo, i absolutely LOVE the photo of taylor being sung to. so neat.
Sounds like fun in Nashville. I'm enjoying being the Cubmaster in our ward. It's fun to see your family growing. Taylor and Max look like so much fun. It is an amazing experience being a parent. I'm actually currently in Vail for a conference until Saturday evening. Great to hear from you. We sure enjoyed seeing your family in Atlanta a couple of months ago.
How fun! Looks like your family had a great time! Oh, I do think that professor looks just like your dad! Max is too cute and Taylor is getting to be such a big girl!
