Conference Weekend in Pictures

We've had a great, very family-oriented weekend.

This is Friday night. We decided to go to Lagoon's Frightmares. I don't think that we've ever taken the boys to Lagoon-- we had a blast!

Emalee finally discovered the joy of roller-coasters and other thrill rides this trip. She LOVED Tidal Wave. We went on it probably 10 times in a row. (Side note about Tidal Wave, anyone else remember when you'd ride the Tidal Wave and one side would yell "Tastes Great!" and the other would yell "Less Filling!? Good Times.)




This is about the only ride that Doug would ride. 15 times in one night.



Here's the kids in their "King Benjamin" tent to listen to conference. Quite honestly, between the tent and the activity books (well, and the skittles, Mike & Ikes, and chocolate), so far, the kids have quietly watched all 6 hours of conference. No matter what happens during the last session, I'm calling it a success.

Saturday afternoon, we went for a ride around the loop to Cascade Springs, then up to Midway and back down Provo Canyon. I don't have good words to describe how beautiful the canyon is this year. My pics aren't as good as I would like because it was very overcast, but here they are:











I've felt so blessed during this weekend. So many of the talks have been about obtaining personal revelation. One thing said really struck me-- we receive revelation because we believe in a living Christ, we belong to a living church with a living prophet on the earth. It is amazing and humbling to think-- especially when you consider the majestic works of God-- that He cares enough to hear and answer our individual prayers.
Like I said-- we are so blessed!
