This morning, we got up and started to get ready for church, when everything went dark.  The power was off all around the lake, so the local wards had to cancel church.  So, Casey called his bishop back home and got permission for us to hold a family sacrament meeting there at the condos.



This was the program, hand-printed on paper plates.

I'm not going to lie--it was probably the best sacrament meeting I've attended in a long time.

The power stayed off for most of the day, finally flickering back on in the late afternoon.  We kind of had to scrounge to put together Sunday dinner--the ham and Funeral Potatoes we'd planned on turned into ham sandwiches, chips, and watermelon--but having the power out at Bear Lake is not a tragedy when the lake is right there sparkling at you and there is lots of grass where kids can play and grown-ups can visit.







After dark, Dave and Becky set up the Annual Outdoor Movie.
 It was totally awesome until they realized they had the wrong sound cable, so we had no sound when using the projector.  No problem--just drag a TV set outside.

Seeing us all huddled around an old TV set, Becky renamed the evening Redneck Outdoor Movie.  All that was missing was dragging the living room furniture outside and eating popcorn out of old Cool Whip bowls.

That sounds like the perfect Sacrament meeting to me! How fun.
