Flake Ranch

We went up to the Flakes Ranch a couple days ago. It is seriously the happiest place on earth!! We rode horses, enjoyed the beautiful weather, went on a morning run (just me), and played outside to our hearts content. Scarlett and Alice loved roaming and playing with their Flake cousins. 

We also spent the afternoon in Provo eating at every hot spot like Slab Pizza and J Dawgs. It was delicious! We walked around BYU campus and told Scarlett the story of how Nick and I fell in love at BYU. She asked to hear the story again and again. The campus holds a special place in my heart. I actually only spent one fall there but the memories I made that freshman fall were powerful. A whoosh of feelings and emotions came back when I saw the campus covered in red and yellow leaves. It is a beautiful sight. I just love Provo in the Fall!

What made this trip the best was that 6 out of 7 of us kids were together. Caity and clarah drove down from Idaho, Nate came up from Provo, Brady was in town for a conference, and of course Emily and I were there. That's 6! We missed Kim but next time she will be forced to come up. It was fun to talk late into the night and devour all the scrumptious food we made. At times is was a feeding frenzy. Camps and Flakes know how to eat! It was a great and memorable weekend.

Bottom line: Kids were filthy, exhausted, and still ask every second to go back!
