As a mom now, I continue that tradition because I am able to successfully "lock" my kids with seat belts in the car, force us to be together and listen... just listen.
Since moving to Colorado, I wondered if this tradition was going to be able to continue. I had flashbacks to living in Arizona and trying unsuccessfully to log in to the church's website through dial-up to stream the conference audio. But times have changed! I was able to easily open the KSL app and run the live stream through the car.
Success! And we were off!
I heard on the news that this was the area's peak leaf changing weekend. We headed for the mountains around Pikes Peak.
It was breathtaking to see all the Aspen color mixed with the Evergreens!
Of course we had to stop.
That was great until Cory fell into a plant and ended up with stickers all over.
Along the way there were some scary parts. We were in our Expedition, not a small car, and trying to pass cars going the other way was pretty tricky. Especially when there was quite the drop off on our side.
The messages from conference were inspiring and to be able add the amazing views of God's creation made the whole experience unforgettable.

I LOVED our drives up the canyon when it was conference time in the fall. I remember Mom and Dad stopping the car and letting us pick up as many colorful leaves as we wanted to bring home. Brings back fun memories! I loved all of your pictures...absolutely gorgeous, indeed. :o) Miss you lots!
