GENERAL CONFERENCE WEEKEND



This weekend was General Conference. We had a blast. Andrew's parents came up from Utah and his Grammy Faye came up as well. All the way from Mississippi. We had our semi-annual sweet potato pancakes with apple cider syrup. It is the best. All homemade. We had the Wilsons and the Schaurhamers over to enjoy the breakfast. If you haven't had Margie's conference breakfast you are missing out. Everyone is invited and we'll be having the next sweet potato pancake breakfast in April 2010. So RSVP and we'd love to have you!

We took them all for a drive up to Mesa Falls in between sessions.
In the lodge was a cute bear. Mom thought she'd dance with him a bit.
After the second session we took them on a "food tour" of Ashton, ID. We had a progressive dinner taking them to all of our favorite food joints here in town, starting at Big Juds. We had to get up on that huge one pound burger!!
Next stop was the Frostop. Best fries in the world and they have killer fry sauce.
This might be the most amazing Mexican restaurant in the world. The quesadilla's are to die for.
Last stop was 511 Main. Great pizza joint. The real good stuff is their potato salad. It's amazing!!
Grammy was so nice and bought Margie a Frostop mug. Unfortunately it fell through the bag and broke. Fortunately the Frostop rocks and they replaced it for free.
We had to make sure we played plenty of Settlers of Catan while everyone was here. Diana & Ethnie even stopped by. We also got Grammy going on the game!
Sunday in between sessions we made them an amazing Hawaiian BBQ. It was delicious.
Andrew broke out the Lincoln Logs and made his Mom happy. They had so much fun playing until Dad threw his shoe into the mix. Poor cabins.
Margie stole this idea from her friend Daciana it's a new and fun way to take notes during conference. She'll post this where she can see it to remember all that happened.

What a great weekend. I love Conference!!! I'm going to have to take Daciana's idea for Conf. notes. Love it!
PS I like how in the pic with your mom and the bear it shows the sign that says "Please do not touch". LOL

I would love to come up there for spring conference. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun, all we did was sit on the couch and watch conference in our pajamas. Still the same message either way. I really miss Idaho and Mesa Falls.
