How is it the middle of November already? Where did the last two months go? How is Thanksgiving just a week and a half away. Good news is Black Friday is almost here and we can't wait for that! But before November is gone I thought I'd recap October.
We started the month in our favorite way. General Conference weekend we spent at a cabin above Sundance Resort. My mom's employer owes a couple of cabins and is generous enough to let us stay a couple of times each year. Because all my siblings are out of state we got to invite Mark's family to join us this time. We were able to catch the last of the fall colors. How would you like this to be your backyard?
Saturday morning we found a surprise. Our little niece was getting ready and turned around to find this in the bathroom.
So Mark's Dad came to the rescue
And we released Mr. Bat back to his normal habitat
These three ladies were the lucky ones to share a bedroom with Mr. Bat
Paige, Carole, and JaCee were much braver than I would have been.
The rest of the weekend was not so exciting. Just wonderful food, lots of family and sitting by this
watching General Conference. It doesn't get much better than that!
The next big event of the month was the Stake Road Shows. They had the youth in each Ward in the Stake perform a 12 minute skit. Jessica was one of the sheep and delivered her line wonderfully!
We found some time during Fall Break to squeeze in our annual trip to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point
And even had Mark join us for a picnic lunch!
The girls were brave and concurred The Beast!
I was happy to stay outside and wait with John.
The kids had a blast on all the rides and I spent a lot of time watching them play. I'm still dreaming of the day when I can walk and stand without being in any pain. Hopefully that day will come soon!
But the kids still had a blast even though we didn't go through the main corn maze this year. Sorry we missed Larry Miller's head.
And of course we finished the month off with some pumpkin carving.
Our friend Lori came over and joined us one night.
And we got them carved in time for Halloween!
Here is our crazy bunch getting ready to head to school for some parties!
Happy October!! Thanks for a fun month.
