Fall Break in American Fork!

We went to American Fork for Fall Break this year.  Utah is beautiful in the fall!  And grandkids are beautiful any time of the year!

Look what Micah made for us!



Look how cute this little girl is!

And look how cute this little man is!


We got up early on Saturday morning and went to do a session at the Draper Temple.



And on Saturday afternoon, we all took a bike ride up to the lake!















And on Friday evening, we picked up Mary and went to Ripples Drive-in in Provo!










Mary has bequeathed her secret hand cream recipe to me!

These ducks were crossing the street in front of Mary's house!





Making pancakes with Grandad!



Ready for Stake Conference!

On Sunday afternoon, we went for a walk around the temple!




I've always wanted to stop at one of the Jerky stands along the road near Green River.  We finally did.  It mega-expensive, and not that tasty.

We've also always wanted to climb up to Wilson Arch, so this time, we did!

There isn't really a trail.  You have to climb over a bunch of rocks.  I wouldn't try to take little ones up at all.  See the guys repelling down in the arch?


One of them offered to take our pictures!  It  seemed A LOT higher up when we got up there, and we were both a little nervous.  The rock climbers were barefoot, and they were crawling all over the steep rocks like monkeys to take our pictures for us!

And we stood there afraid to move!




When it was time to come down, one of them held my hand all the way down so I'd be safe and secure.  I think the dad wouldn't have minded if one would have held his hand all the way down, too!

General Conference Weekend!

I love, love, love General Conference Weekends.  This one was no exception.  Brian and Chelsea and their boys came for the weekend, and for me, that makes it even more special!  I'll have to admit, I didn't hear all of all the talks.  I spent a lot of time lovin' on grandkids.  I'm grateful that the Gospel Library App has the talks there and running.  I enjoy listening to them every morning as I get ready for work.  Here are a few pictures of the weekend!




















I'm already looking forward to April!
