Weekend Awesomeness

Friday- I've always wanted to hike delicate arch... Alma and I decided to make the 4 hr drive to Moab so I could live the dream

It was pretty dang diddly dang awesome! I somehow survived the hike up slick rocks and I didn't fall once! I don't know why but I thought the arch was going to be smaller (you know like it is on the license plate!).

Posing with the arch

Looking up at the arch (cool!)

Hey! How did these get in the car!! It's Alma's fault.. He loves krispy Kremes and he forces me to eat them!! I got one right off the conveyor belt for the first time.. It was heavenly!

Ok back to the arches... The donuts distracted me for a minute..

Balanced rock

-Driving home from arches-

I'm obsessed with the moon.. This picture doesn't do it justice. It was the highlight of the drive home! Oh that and the empanada from Taco Time... Yum!! I wish I had a picture of it.... Good times!

Saturday we went up to park city to check out the slide and coaster.. It was really, really cold (I miss you summer!)

RollEr CoASteR!!

Conference on Sunday... The temple is SO pretty, even when the weather isn't!

Yes it was raining and yes we forgot to bring an umbrella...



-Conference highlights-
-The Prophet... It's overwhelming to feel the spirit when he walks into the room!!
-MoTab!! They're so good (and their facial expressions are entertaining)
-Elder Holland's talk... Can we make everyone listen to that!!
-Being on TV.. oh wait that never happened.. There's always next time!

I love conference... But I do have some not so high highlights-
-People bringing snacks to eat! Hey I was hungry too, but I'm not 5.. I lived 2 hrs with out eating
-Cell phones going off... Why does that remind me of my mom??
-Flash photography when they tell you repeatedly "No flash photography!"
-Teenagers... Need I say more!!
-Losing my shoe twice because the ground was so wet!!

And finally the best part of the weekend.... Drum roll please.......

Watch out world!!

Rachel now knows how to make mango sticky rice! If my clothes are looking a little tight... This is why!!
