Sheep Stake Conference

So we were heading down the dirt road to Smith and Morehouse reservoir and had to pull over so my Brother in law could tighten the canoe when we notice that the sheep were all gathered together in bunches in the shade of the trees. Braeden said look my flocks of sheep. I noticed and said yes there are three groups of them and they all seem to be huddled together in the shade of the trees, do you think they are trying to stay cool. His reply caught me buy surprise and brought a big smile to my day. "No I think they are having a stake conference." "Stake conference huh, well what do you think they are saying. " Braeden "I think they are planning how to run over that house over there" Mom, "oh really!" Braeden then notices the other two groups of sheep and says "look mom another flock, and another"
"Yes Braeden there are three of them and see how they are all grouped under the shade of the trees that is why I said I thought they were trying to stay cool"
"Yeah you must be right, they are in the shade, they must be doing that. It can't be stake conference."
"Why you can't have stake conference in the shade?"
"no"
"Oh, what is stake conference anyway Braeden?"
"it's when you all get together and talk about things. That is why I thought they were having stake conference cause there is that house over there and they are all looking at it and they are all together."

Makes sense to me.
