For Youth Conference this year we went down to Payson, Utah for an overnight adventure at my 2nd counselor's parents' house. Let me just say that I fell in love with Payson! Maybe it was the gorgeous mountains, or the goats we got to feed, or the beautiful farms and gardens, the horses, the pig....needless to say, the country girl part of my heart was overjoyed.
Friday night we got to Payson around 8pm and had a sunset devotional and treats.
The boys set up their tents outside while the girls got beds set up in the basement.
We woke up had a tasty breakfast
that Ann's parents made for us...
and then we fed the goats...
Darling or what!?
The pig and calf wanted to say hi too...
Pause for a countryside photo shoot:
The Youth
(minus a few who couldn't make it)
My girls:
Then we were off to the stables for some horseback riding:
Heading to the trail...
A bit of uphill terrain...
The beautiful view...
Taking the horses back to the stable...
We also practiced some roping skills - which is way harder than it looks.
(and that calf is super fast)
Then we came back to the house to play on the
BIGGEST
SLIP N SLIDE EVER!!!
Two HUGE advertising tarps
sprinklers,
baby shampoo so it's extra slick,
old patio furniture cushions underneath a tarp at the end to help try and slow you down=
We had a blast!
Thanks to the youth for being so fun to be around.
A huge thank you to Ann's parents for feeding and housing us,
letting us ride horses and best of all,
introducing us to the funnest slip and slide ever.

GREAT PICTURES!!! I can see how it was a DREAM youth conference for you with the goat AND pig!!! Looks like you guys had so much fun ... the slip and slide is AMAZING. Where can you get a couple of those old billboards??????

I hope I get to serve with the Youth sometime in my life. I bet you have a blast! Those kids think you are the bomb-shizzle!
