Conference Weekend in Eden with Friends

 

After our first weekend in Eden our good friends, the Nettesheim's, invited us to their cabin in Eden too! It was conference weekend and we were very hesitant to say yes at first because we didn't want to interrupt their lovely weekend listening to prophets by having our 6 kiddos there. But then we found out that they invited the Swan's there too and they have even more kids than us so we knew the Nettesheim's knew what they were getting themselves into. Cade and Matt have been in the bishopric for 5 years together and just got released a few weeks ago. It was SO fun to spend the weekend with awesome families who are very uplifting and put Christ in their lives so readily. 

Anyway, we first got there Saturday afternoon and went on a gorgeous hike up by Nordic Valley Ski resort to a giant metal "paper airplane". It was soooo pretty. Benson was the only little boy amongst a million girls...which he did care or know anyway :). It was a short but awesome hike before going back to listen to the evening session of conference. 

At night we stayed up entirely too late playing games (past midnight which is late for us!) and it was so fun! The next morning we made pancakes and sausage for everyone and watched the morning session. In between sessions we introduced the "horse racing game" where we gambled candy and it was super fun. We went on a gorgeous little walk around their beautiful cabin and watched the last afternoon session. 

Eden is so beautiful. I would love to have a cabin there someday. Or maybe just rent others peoples often. So fun.
