This week has been my Fall Break!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! I was talking to Cami in March when I went to Oregon about doing another girls weekend here, and so we planned it a while ago. It was so fun having those girls here! I'm lucky I have such great cousins! We had a blast.
Cami got in Saturday morning. Rifka was already in town but she was hanging out with her brother and sis in law for the weekend. We picked Cami up and went to breakfast at Snooze cafe...yummmm!!

| My breakfast was SO GOOD! I can't stop thinking about it. Strawberry shortcake pancake and a pineapple upside down pancake! Yummmmmmmmmy |
After breakfast we went home and kind of chilled. We watched the afternoon session of conference which was really good. We got to hear Elder Holland speak about women which was a much needed talk for me to hear. It was great. Afterwards we went to the grocery store and then made homemade chili and cornbread. It was delish! After eating we watched some Parks and Rec waiting for Billy to get home from Priesthood session. Once he got home we went to the haunted corn maze up in Glendale! It was SO scary but SO fun! We made Billy stay in the front the whole time and Cami and I were just grabbing each others arms so tight...it was hilarious. We were both pretty sweaty by the end because we had been so close and so scared.

| We were so parched after we stopped for some water...aren't you so glad I captured this moment? |
Sunday we woke up and made waffles, strawberries, and whipped cream for conference!!!!! I love conference weekend. In the afternoon we headed over to Bruce and Karen's for the afternoon session, some pool time, dinner, bike ride, photography lessons for Cami, and a couple rounds of nines. It was a fun day!!

| Maddison and Ceci were super into their conference candy game they got to play. Love their faces here. |
 |
| Cami and I went for a bike ride and got to see an awesome sunset. I am all about sunsets!! My butt is still SO sore from the ride though...yikes |

Sunday night we picked up Rifka for the rest of the party! Monday I decided it would be fun to go to Sedona even though it had a forecast of rain. We drove there in the morning and went strait to the devil's bridge hike. It was gorgeous as usual, but it started to pour rain on our way down! Ahh!! After devil's bridge we went and walked around the town, then it started raining again so we went into Starbucks and got some hot chocolate and hung out there for a while until the rain subsided. We decided a second hike might not be a good idea since it was still supposed to rain the rest of the day, so we headed home after that. We ended the night with Cafe Rio at home, a visit to the hot tub (which we found in a secret corner of our apartment complex, it was so pretty!) tons of candy and watching Cinderella :)

Tuesday we got up early and me, Billy, and Cami went for a nice little jog. Then we got ready and got pedicures and then went to the mall for a bit! Afterwards we went for paddle boarding round 3!!! This was an awesome time paddle boarding except for the rain. We got to see lots of horses, some bald eagles, and a seriously killer sunset. It was perfect! We stopped at in-n-out on the way home for dinner and yummm that sounds so good and I want it right now. Picture overload from paddle boarding as usual.

 |
| Yummmmmm! |
After in-n-out we went home, hot tubbed it up some more, and then played N64 Mario Kart! We were so tired after that we hit the hay! Wednesday morning we went for a little walk in the morning to the hole in the rock in Papago Park. Me and Billy have been meaning to go see this for a while. It wasn't that cool, but it was fun to get out and moving in the morning.
After that we had to take Rifka to the airport and Cami to go have breakfast with her old roommate :( It was such a fun trip ladies!! Thanks so much for coming out!!!!
