Another busy and fun weekend

We had another great weekend. Friday night was fun to be able to go to the football game. Saturday's plans changed a little bit but it turned out to be really fun. Originally Aaron was going to go to Orem with us for my nephew's birthday party and conference at my sister's. Unfortunately Aaron has been swamped with homework and with upcoming tests should not give up valuable study time. (It hasn't helped that his computer has been giving him stress.) Anyways, we went to Orem at 10am just in time to confine the children in their carseats to listen to conference. (I love Utah and being able to listen to conference on the radio!) The drive would have been great since the kids have gotten use to riding in the car (usually with a movie of their choice.) However it rained all weekend and it made the drive very challenging, especially without Aaron their. I hate driving in adverse driving conditions. At one point I could not even see the car in front of me and a car was driving all over the freeway. I actually almost gave up and turned around. However with a little determination and the heavy rain only lasting about 30 minutes we made it to Orem. We enjoyed my nephew's birthday party, watch the second session of conference, I got some file folders laminated, we ate at my favorite place, Cafe Rio, went to Target and purchased Halloween costumes, and loved being with my sister and cousins! I was also able to enjoy delicious ice cream and a movie since the kids went down very easily with our busy day. I did all this without Aaron being with us, my sister and I and 5 kids in tow and lots and lots of rain! Sunday was far more relaxing watching conference while the children nicely sat and watched conference. We ate a delicious lunch watched more conference and headed back to Logan. I was a little sad that all the rain joined us this weekend and I was looking forward to a much more beautiful drive in the canyon to see all the changing colors. Instead we got to see the tops of the mountains with snow on them. Aaron had a quiet weekend with some success in studying and more frustration with his computer!
