Conference Weekend

I love conference weekend. Honestly, who doesn't. The time spent as family, the inspiration from church leaders, and picking grapefruit with cows... at least those were the highlights from this past conference weekend. After a great Saturday morning session, we headed out to the west side to spend the rest of the weekend with Matt's parents. We started off with a favorite Allen spring tradition, picking grapefruit with the cows. Here we are setting out to pick. Nothing unusual, just a great orchard. Grandma and Graham with their hair blowing in the wind. That's right, Graham has enough hair to blow in the wind!

Matt and I teamed up to get some of the higher grapefruit
And then the cows realized it was feeding time
Seriously, I can never get over how strange it is to see cows eating grapefruit. They are so big and get so close!
Graham loves cows from the safety of Grandma's arms
Crew was a little nervous at first too.
This one kept wanting to be my friend. Cute little guy just too much snot and slobber!
See ya next year boys!
Afternoon session was also great.
Crew draws and colors for hours at a time these days so he kept himself busy during conference.
Cute boy
While the men went to the Priesthood session, Becky and I took the boys out on their electric car and then enjoyed a fantastic sunset!
Graham finally took a nap at 5pm and so I only let him sleep 15 minutes. But he was still up and wanting to play with Grandpa at 10pm!
Then of course he was up at 6am! Luckily, he fell asleep on the couch just in time for the morning session so we got to listen to all of that session as well. Poor tired guy.
What a great weekend!
