Fall Break

It's October.  The Kids are out of school...

...for 2 1/2 weeks and the temperatures are still in the high 90s.  What do you do?  Drive to Utah, of course.  Many thanks to Grandpa G. for accompanying the Pinks on their 2nd road trip of the year.

SPRING CITY

Listening to General Conference.  (Wait--they're never this still listening to General Conference.  I must have snapped this shot while they were watching a cartoon.)

SALT LAKE CITY

 

Visiting the witches at Gardner Village.  The Pinks were very patient while I shopped for the perfect Halloween wreath for our front door back home.

Hiking around Crystal Springs with Grandma D and the Strong cousins.  Beautiful!!

A sort-of illegal picnic lunch on the trail.  But hey, the government was shut down that day.  If there is no government, is there law?



 

 Strong sisters craft night.  I never could find the perfect Halloween wreath so my sisters helped me make one instead.  I love it!!

 

 

 

Pinks 1 & 2 and I also had a fabulous afternoon out with Great Grandma S.  We had lunch together and then played one of my favorite games, Enchanted Forest.  It was so much fun. I wish I had remembered to bring my camera.  Thanks so much, Mama S!
