Semi annual Conference camping trip

We look forward to this trip every Fall/Spring. Its an opportunity for us to take a break from the daily grind, be together as a family with our closest friends in nature and listen to our beloved Prophet and other church leaders feed us and uplift us spiritually. Every trip is a new adventure as far as weather, new friends joining us, locations but the one constant is we always have an awesome time!!

This year we went back to our favorite Stoneman Lake spot. We got there Friday afternoon and it was WINDY and FREEZING!!! After we set up and started getting dinner ready it started snowing, and it was so windy we couldn't have a big fire. So early to bed for everyone, praying for better weather for Saturday.

I love watching all of our kids pal around, being silly and having a great time together. I look forward to them being friends for a long time and sharing MANY fun memories together. Saturday the boys had a great game of stick ("log") ball going it was pretty entertaining. That afternoon after conference we did some serious skeet shooting, I would have given anything for a video camera to record the most talented and graceful throwing talents of Eric!! Sunday Eric took the kids to the big meadow across the road and had almost all of the kids playing a killer game of stick ball. As always the weekend flies by way to fast and its time to clean up and go home, UUGHH! Which means LOADS of laundry, putting everything away and cleaning the trailer but it's still worth it!

We did our usual card games, ate lots of good food including our big group dinner and dessert Saturday night.
