October Fall Break

The kids had 5 days off of school this week (thank you "furlough" days).  Thursday, we went and picked out our Halloween pumpkins at our favorite pumpkin patch.  That night we went to the cottage to stay.  We have a tradition of riding the Heber Railroad and participating in their "Haunted Train Ride".  The kids love this!  Friday, we drove and hiked around the Alpine Loop.  The leaves were so beautiful, hence my thousands of pictures!  Saturday Gabe had a football game.  Stay tuned to see what we did after the game...it is awesome!

Ellie was by far the most scared!

I love this picture because it looks like the guy is grabbing Ellie's foot!

We made homemade caramel apples for a post train ride treat.

If you look closely, there is an alien standing in the middle of the falls!

It was a perfect day!

Back to School 2010

It is that time again! The kids were quite excited to start a new year.   Summer has passed us and the kids are hitting their alarm snoozes!  Poor Mikail and Ellie have to get up with their dad at 5:45 a.m. 
I am already missing the lazy days of summer now that I spend hours driving kids around in the car from 3:00 on! 

Gabe is in 4th

Ellie is in 7th (middle school)

Mikail is in 9th

My wish for the kids is to have a fantastic year.  Work hard and play even harder!
