Conference Sunday

Bogus Basin 2010

My family has a tradition that they started a long time ago (I believe it was when I was 8) where we go up to Bogus Basin on General Conference Sunday and we have a family picnic and listen to the afternoon session of conference up there. My uncle David and his family use to go up with us for many years until they moved too far away. This year it was just Dad and Mom, Ryan and me and our kids, Jordan and Jeff and Amy and their two boys. It was a super warm sunny day and I was regretting the fact that I didn't wear shorts. We ate, talked and played. It was a lot of fun.

Uncle Jordan playing and hanging with the kids on the chair lift. His head was so close to the ground. :)









There is a winding path that the kids like to ride their scooters and bikes down. Even the bigger kids had fun racing each other down it on bikes, trikes, scooters and even an old school big wheel. :)

While up there we celebrated Max and my birthday.

We got into a berry throwing war and pretty much everyone got involved in it (even mom). It is all fun and games until someone loses an eye. :) It was a fun day but ended pretty quickly when dark clouds started rolling in and it got windy. We started packing things up and right before we were about to hop in the cars to leave it started POURING rain. It was crazy. That was the end of our fun. On the drive home Alyse got car sick and threw up all over in the car. Not a fun way to end the day...however it was a fun day none the less. I am hoping that someday we can get Matt and Janae and their family as well as Derek and Julie and their family to come. We missed you this year Jaron!
