Sunshine In My Soul

How beautiful it is....

to do nothing and then rest afterward (Spanish proverb).

{sigh}

We've made a little tradition of heading up north to Greer for conference weekend. That was our plan again this time around, but as it got closer and closer I wondered if we'd be able to pull it off, if we'd actually have time to get away.

Brett let me decide. As much as I was dreading the drive...especially for such a short trip...I said, "Let's do it!" And I'm so, so, so glad that we did. We stayed in our jammies, enjoyed the cool weather, and loved having the chance to be together, listening to our prophet and his apostles teach us and inspire us. Saturday as we listened to conference, a huge thunderstorm rolled through. We opened the doors, watched the rain pour down from the heavens, listened to the thunder roll across the little valley, wrapped ourselves in soft, warm blankets, and soaked in the beautiful words and music. Between sessions on Saturday, I took a nap. How beautiful it is to do nothing and then rest afterward. Aaaahhhhh!

On Sunday, I took my camera out of it's bag for a few shots...

My view for conference....couldn't be any more perfect.

Chubbers watched half of conference, I think, upside down...

Moose LOVES what he calls "half-time, snack-time"...

The last session on Sunday, a few people fell asleep....

I still can't figure out how anyone can sleep like this...

We also took a little trip to the local ice cream shop, saw the beginnings of fall colors on the aspen trees, had a BBQ with cousins, ate s'mores and hot chocolate and "Brimhall" tacos and all kinds of tasty foods. Here's hoping that Grandpa decides NOT to sell the cabin. Man, we love that place!
