Impressive Weekend

Quentin has been in the Elders Quorum presidency for a couple of years - first as the secretary, then the second counselor and a little over a month ago he was called to be the first counselor. As part of the new presidency, the quorum members and their families went on a weekend retreat! One of the presidency members invited everyone to spend Friday and Saturday night at a cabin in Hobble Creek Canyon. Well, cabin is not quite the appropriate word - LODGE would be a better word. This 20,000 (yes, 4 zeros) square foot lodge used to be owned by one of their family members (to be used as their private residence!) and then was donated to BYU. BYU now rents it out and we were able to go for FREE! Incredible. It was overwhelmingly big and beautiful. There were 3 Great Rooms, an indoor basketball court (with womens and mens locker rooms!), an indoor treehouse and playground, a private stream and pond, 9 bedrooms with their own bathrooms, and enough beds to sleep 40 people! Absolutely incredible. After we wiped the drool from our chins, we spent the weekend with 3 incredibly amazing families - it was such a neat opportunity to get to know them even better and be able to hang out and enjoy each other's company. What a fun experience! (P.S. The pictures of the front don't even show the entire lodge. It was in a U-shape, so it was hard to get a picture of the whole building.)
