Halloween Party

My parents threw a really cute Halloween party for the grandkids last weekend. My dad dressed up as Dracula and my mom wore her "I'm Batty" hat she used to wear when she was a high school teacher. They did so many games and activities including a spook alley in their basement hallway. The kids really had a great time. They were also high on candy by the end! Ha!



Fall has arrived!

We went to a pumpkin patch for family night on Monday. I have only been to one before this in Hawaii. This was way more fun. We all loved the atmosphere and the activity of choosing pumpkins. We are definitely going to make a tradition out of this.

St. George


St. George Temple 



A little cave like tomb built into the red rock.


"The Narrows" 



We have had a wonderful trip to St. George. We planned going on this trip last year after seeing The Little Mermaid at the Tuacahn (which was amazing). This year the Tuacahn was playing Aladdin and it was equally good. The staging along with everything else is so well-done! Lily was in heaven when the magic carpet flew right over her while Aladdin and Jasmine sang "A Whole New World." She stayed up past 10pm for the entire show.

Above are some pictures of the kids exploring the red rocks just above the temple in St. George. The tiny narrow canyon is called "The Narrows." Eryn is the only one who decided to climb all the way through it up to the top.

It has been so nice having my parents come along on this trip. They are so helpful and fun to be around.
