HALLOWEEN

We had a great Halloween. Saturday we drove up to Bountiful and had lunch and visited with my family. then we went trick-or-treating with Liz's kids before heading up to Layton to see Grandma and Grandpa Fawcett (and Paige). Nathan and Libby stopped by and told us about a Doctor who puts together a Hogwarts School on his property every Halloween. So we jumped in the van and headed off to Hogwarts. It was super cool and fun, we drank butter beer and played Quidditch, the girls got sorted. Katy-Ravenclaw, Abby-Griffindor, Madelyn-Huffelpuff. Libby took some pictures of the kids meeting Dumbeldore and Hagrid and Prof. Lockheart so I'll have to get a copy and post them.



Oh good news I found some pictures of the kids at The Hogwarts Halloween.

Fall Adventures

All the kids had Friday October 2nd off from school, my family was all heading down to my mom's to can apple pie filling. I thought that it would be fun if they came to my house Thursday night and then we could see some of the dinosaur sites here in Carbon County. Liz and Becca's families came down and spent the night. Friday we headed out to Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. It was really cool to see all the bones, plus the ones they haven't dug up yet. Then we took the kids on a pretty long hike around the quarry to look at all the desert. Here are some pictures of our adventure.


Yes that is the ledge of a cliff we are standing on. Needless to say we didn't stay out there long.






Thomas is really getting to be independent. He wanted to walk by himself the entire hike, which put us way behind the big kids. Every once in a while I would throw him on my shoulders and walk fast to catch up. He yelled at me the entire time.
