FALL CONFERENCE -- BY THE FIRE


We had another great trip to the cabin this past weekend. It was such a beautiful drive with all the fall colors at their peak and the snow capping the mountain tops.

We went fishing Friday and Carter and Easton both caught big fish. Carter's was 21 inches and Easton's was 22 inches. They were both so excited about their fishes. Of course they had a little help in reeling them in especially since Easton broke his wrist Thursday morning when he was jumping on the couch and fell off.

My brother Todd and his cute wife Christine joined us on Friday night. We taught them how to play Settler's Of Catan because you can't go out to the cabin and not play a game of Settler's.

We enjoyed listening to all the wonderful sessions of Conference, eating, and going for walks. The walks were never long because it was icy cold, but it was so beautiful. Christine found a wonderful walking stick, it had a branch poking out the front so if you got to close or if you weren't walking fast enough it would prod you along!

One of Carter and Easton's favorite things to do was to take the dogs for walks. Griffin got so he would just look at me with the saddest eyes pleading for my help so he wouldn't have to go on one more walk with them. It was so cute to see them pulling these dogs everywhere.

As always we hated for it to end. But with the little bit of snow that we saw and that fell on Sunday, it made us excited for the snowmobiling season. We are ready to tune up the snowmobiles and get the winter gear out. This might be the last time we can drive into the cabin for the year! Where has this year gone?
