Our Conference Drive...

One of my favorite things to look forward to in the fall is the changing of the beautiful colors, going for a drive in the mountains to see them, and listening to inspiring and encouraging messages during general conference. This year, we watched all of the sessions at home, and then packed a picnic lunch and went for a long drive during the last session. It was like candy to my senses... beautiful scenery, riding next to my very best friend, and feeling an abundance of the spirit of it all. ~A love of being together~ and learning together what we can do to become better people, become closer as a family, and how to live more fully the gospel of Jesus Christ. I LOVE conference!!! After the sessions were all over, we had a fun time exploring through the canyon and stopping in pretty places to capture a few of the scenes on film...
Here is Clint surrounded by the kids ;)












...and the Mom surrounded by the kids ;)










Then of course Clint had to go and be funny and make us all laugh by clinging to this cozy tree trunk. What are you , a tree hugger? ;)
















But then it looked like so much fun that we all wanted to try being tree huggers ;)
















...and little Kambriella too ;)












This picture made me smile, but if you're wondering where Dallin is, he had decided that sitting and smiling wasn't near as exciting as...














...exploring on his own! (That cute little stinker;)















Three handsome brothers...














Here's the whole gang up at Nebo Loop.






And you know the saying, "till the cows come home?" Well, that's what we saw on our way out of the canyon! All kinds of cows just wandering around out in the wild! Kambriella even yelled out the window to the brown one, "Hey cow! I like your hair!" It gave us a good giggle for the ride home.
















Conference weekend all in all was so enjoyable! Great times, great lessons, and great memories together. Now, bring on the fall! Anyone for some pumpkin spice hot chocolate?
