Monday, October 2 - I can't believe our vacation is already coming to an end! After we checked out of the hotel, we went into town and found another dinosaur museum to walk through. The kids loved it! Ricki did get tired around lunchtime so we packed up and hit the road. We had to pass Strawberry Reservoir on our way home so Simon asked if we'd want to make a small detour and see the salmon swimming upstream. Luckily, the channel that they go in is right off the main highway so we stopped for a potty break and to see this. It was actually really neat! I learned a lot! Did you know that once the salmon lay their eggs at the end of summer, they turn dark red, purple, and then eventually kind of white because they are about to die? It's sad but neat to watch nature go through its process. I was glad we stopped. The drive home was beautiful and we got a great view of the changing leaves. What a fun time away with our family!
Tuesday, October 3 - I love an excuse to get together with these wonderful ladies from my ward! This time, it was Jenny's birthday. :) We met at The Chocolate in West Jordan and had a good time visiting and eating! :) Happy birthday Jenny!
Wednesday, October 4 - We have Young Women in Excellence coming up so Andrea offered to do a photo shoot of the girls and make it look like a Mormon Ad. She is so amazing! This is her, lying on the floor, getting the best shot she can of Phoebe Slimak. This should be a pretty amazing activity!
Thursday, October 5 - It's getting time to start thinking about Halloween and costumes. I pulled a bunch of costumes out of the bin to send to Katie for Kam. I remember when Zacky wore this Superman costume. He was so adorable in it! :) Oh, the memories!!
Friday, October 6 - Mom loves her some Halloween nails! :) I love how much she loves her decorated nails. My favorite is Jack! It's just so mom!!
Saturday, October 7 - Nick really wants to be a blow-up sumo wrestler for Halloween. However, I can't justify spending $40 on it!! He tried on Simon's old Elvis blow-up suit but as you can see, it is huge on him! Maybe in a year or two!! I can't believe Halloween is already just around the corner!
Sunday, October 8 - We are getting family pictures done next Friday and I am stressing about what to have everyone wear. This is what I have come up with so far but something isn't quite right. I think it's Kendra's leggings and scarf. We'll have to remedy this situation before Friday!
