Cotton Candy

So here is the picture that I promised. Don't we just look so dang cute. Dani, I really think the pink cotton candy in the hair is the new look for you. Megan as for you, you were smarter than the rest of us to actually put a hat on. And as for Julie, she skipped out early and looked better than the rest of us. Thanks to all of you for your help. It was a great success!!! Get ready for next year.

Last trip for the season

Mike and I along with our good friends Tim and Holly Shanto (and baby)went to St. George for the weekend for one last boating trip. Tim and I have decided that Mike is a fish our of water. He just cant get enough. Although the weather was about
82, the water wasn't anywhere close. I think maybe 63 to 65, yeah it was cold. That didn't stop Mike from getting in. OK it didn't stop any of us. We had a great time and Mike has finally realized that we are done for 7 months, although he doesn't like it he finally admits it.

Hee Haws

I went with Rachael's kindergarten class to Hee Haws. It was actually a fun place. There was a big that weighed 1200 LBS all the kids got a kick out of that. The kids went through a corn maze, on a hay ride, down a big slide and then they got to choose their own pumpkin to take home. They all had a great time.

Fishing

Addie has been bugging Mike all summer to take her fishing. We just had a very busy summer that the opportunity for the two of them only just never happened. Finally because Addie has such good grades and she received the highest score in the class on a test Mike told her that they could go on Saturday before Conference. I don't think she has ever been more excited. They headed up the the lake at 6:00 am and unfortunately they didn't catch anything. At least they didn't bring anything home. I told them they could go on one condition, they couldn't bring home any fish. We have enough from Alaska. They had some great daddy daughter time. And yes Addie loves to fish. She couldn't help but take pictures of everything please enjoy her pictures.

SKATING

We had the opportunity to go skating twice this week, one as a ward activity and the second with some friends for a fun Friday night activity. The night with the ward I figured I would just help the kids since Mike wasn't able to make it. Well after about five minutes and trying to keep up with the kids I gave in and put on a pair of skates. OK before you all worry or start to laugh I did pretty good. I ha vent been on a pair of skates for over 20 years. When I was younger I would go to this same skating rink all of the time. Well it is just like riding a bike. It only took a few minutes and I was back into the grove of things. (so I thought). When we went on Friday Mike said to me that he was just going to ride the scooter. I told him no way you are getting on a pair of skates. Well he opted for the roller blades and he did well. Rachael hung out on the scooter, the time before she got several blisters and wasn't about to put skates on again. Addie and Bri did great, the first night they put roller skates on and then the second time we went they got roller blades, the blades seem to be a little easier. If you haven't skated or bladed in a while what a workout. You have to try it.
