General Conference Weekend

 We spend the first weekend in October watching General Conference in the kitchen while we made deer jerky.

 We spent part of the Saturday afternoon session going on a family drive in the mountains.

 On the Tuesday after conference weekend, my oldest nephew Carter came to visit us. He's leaving in November on a mission for the LDS church to Uganda. We are so excited for him and can't wait to hear all about his adventures and ways he'll serve the people there.

A Fall Favorite

 The second weekend in October my dad and Carol came to visit from Arkansas. Steph and her daughter Amelia also came to visit Blake's parents. On Saturday we decided to spend the day out in Bluebell at the cornmaze, farmyard, and pumpkin patch. It had been a few years since we'd been there and it's one of my favorite things to do in the fall! The drive out there is so pretty with the changing colors and it's just a fun way to spend the day!

 Grant was too scared to ride in the train car by himself, so I had to get in with him.

 The kids had fun shooting the pumpkin cannon and apple sling shot

 My dad is so fun with the kids. He went in the friendly fire arena with them and they had a blast shooting each other with paint ball guns (except instead of paint balls they were like nerf balls). Porter couldn't believe how far the guns would shoot and just laughed and laughed.

 We also harvested the pumpkins we grew in our backyard.

Happy Fall!
