This past weekend was General Conference. We started our Saturday by going for a little jog/run/walk/waddle around the lake. Sean's training for a half marathon at the end of the month so he did 10 miles while Evette and I walked and played at the park.
Then we came home and listened to the words of our modern day Prophet and apostles
while eating delicious biscuits and gravy [tradition]
Evette was pretty great through all of the sessions of conference and kept herself mostly entertained.
In between the 2 sessions we went to a nearby church's pumpkin patch to find us some pumpkins! Evette has a new love of pumpkins and was in heaven running around and collecting all of them.
After the afternoon session of conference we went to our neighborhood's Oktoberfest. Basically that meant bounce houses....
...face painting...
...petting zoo...
and delicious food. Evette thoroughly enjoyed herself and the weather was nice and cool!
Pumpkin cookies - amazing if I do say so myself, and I don't always love pumpkin flavored things
For breakfast the next morning we had cornbread, honey, and milk as per tradition! [Keeping it alive, G&G Binns!]
Between sessions we headed down to the arboretum to let Evette run around and use up all of that 2 year old energy. It worked!
More pumpkin loving!
I love Fall at the arboretum - they always do a beautiful job!
this pumpkin garland is my favorite thing
My little princess and her prince charming!
Funniest thing - On the way out Evette ran straight into this bed of ground cover and promptly laid down and said "nigh nigh!" and began to snore. Hilarious! I was also a little embarrassed that she just ran into this garden bed and laid down in it.....
...but she was so stinkin adorable we had to take a few pictures before we pulled her out of it :)
Also she told us that she wants to be a dentist when she grows up.
Love this face.
Conference was great! Next post will actually be about the content of conferences as opposed to the things that we did around it :)
xoxo
