It's been exactly one week since we left on this much anticipated Family Vacation. It's been almost a year since the Kimball Stake started to plan and putting things together. It's been hard but oh so worth it! My husband and I were the ward representatives and so had several meetings throughout the year and lots and lots of information to give to the members of our branch. Well, we left on Wednesday and it lasted until Saturday. It took place at the Geronimo Campground (BSA) and it was sooooo beautiful with all the trees, the little brook running all along the campground, the mountains and especially the fall foliage, which wasn't very much because in Arizona there are not too many trees that go through that change, but anyhow it was beautiful. There were lots of activities to do (zip line, archery, rifle shooting, horse shoe, badmington, etc...) and classes that went from dutch oven cooking, to parenting, budgeting, clogging, to tuning in with the Spirit. At night there were great programs that brought together all 1500 people who attended this family vacation. Wednesday night was: Ward Videos, where each ward had to make a video so we could get to know the members. Thursday night was: Talent Show. Friday night was: A special program put together by the Stake Presidency, which included several musical numbers by our very talented Stake President and his quartet and his counselors, a skit, and some final words to cap off this special event. I truly felt the Spirit that night and I felt so loved by my Heavenly Father and my priesthood leaders. I know this was inspired and it truly brought us together as a stake family. I'll always remember this event and of course, President Clint W. Smith, my Stake President. :)
