We are lucky enough to get to plan our vacations based on what weeks Chris draws out of a hat. We had been looking forward to this last one of the year because we knew we could actually experience the fall season. We headed to Utah to see if we could find some snow. Funny thing was, we took the Arizona sun with us. It was beautiful the entire week.
Chris could barely contain himself with a rake and leaves. He and Sam crunched in them and jumped in them.
For Halloween we decided to transform into little red riding hood, the big bad wolf, and granny. You would think a little girl would find a big bad wolf scary, but Samantha didn't even flinch. No wonder the wolf looks so happy.
Little Red thought getting candy (especially M&Ms) was pretty sweet. She also couldn't get enough of my aunts cat. Too bad we wouldn't let her put the cat in her basket.
Chris carved his pumpkin in honor of his daughter this year. Nothing says I love you like Elmo.
We visited Thanksgiving Point for the first time.
Samantha was not afraid of getting friendly with the cows, but wanted nothing to do with the pony ride.
Her favorite part was this little "saloon". She has apparently been to one before because she knew dancing was involved and didn't want to leave.
She also enjoyed running through G & G Brown's garden.
Thanks for the family fun. 5 1/2 days is just not long enough.
