General Confrence Weekend

General Conference is always an eventful time when you have little ones running or crawling around. The saturday morning session was spent getting in a couple words here and there. LONG STORY! When the session was done, we had a great idea. Since we can listen to conference on my phone via the internet (don't you love technology), why don't we go for a drive and listen to it that way? It worked out rather well. The girls were calmer and quieter and we were able to listen to a good amount of the afternoon session. We decided that Sunday would be spent drive up the coast into Maine while listening to conference and checking out the fall colors. The leaves are still in the process of changing, but it made for a BEAUTIFUL drive and a much more pleasant conference experience. We also went to "Old Orchard Beach" and had a picnic in the sand while the seagulls swarmed us. We took lot's of pictures, though I ended up not taking many pictures of the trees. Go figure.



Mckenzie actually looked at the camera. AMAZING!


Abby a sweet as can be!


Daddy's little girls!


The girls had a blast playing in the leaves at the Grist Mill.


I love the look on Abby's face.


Mckenzie is the most ticklish girl I know!



This professional photographer lady was taking pictures of another family at the Grist Mill and offered to take some for us with our camera between those clients and another family. Then, she decided that wasn't good enough and took tons with her camera. I can't wait to check them out!


Abby didn't like the taste of the sand, but kept putting handfuls in her mouth. YUCK!


Mckenzie loves collecting seashells. Sunday she was very good at putting the shells back in the water (I have way too many shells hanging around the house).


Mckenzie is a daddy's girl! She absolutely adores him!

your girls are seriously adorable! You look great too! those are great pictures and so fun there was a photographer there who took pics of you guys. And that's the way to go to listen to conference, we did that in Rexburg since it was on the radio and we drove into the mountains with Dawson...Seattle just doesn't have the spoken word on fm radio =)
