October-So Much To Do, So Little Time!

Mikaela, Carter, Haylie, Vance and Desi
Mikaela making slime at the Dinosaur Park
Haylie looks pretty pleased with her cup of slime The girls and their cousins at the Dinosaur Park. The night was perfect weather for haunting the grounds and enjoying the sights and sounds. The girls love going here every year-I love that its close and family friendly! We spent the night wandering the grounds with BJ, Alenna and their kids and Alenna's sister, Julie and her daughter Desi. Lots of fun and lots of laughs!
Mikaela and Zombie Girl-guess she's not scared!
Zombie Boy, Mikaela and Erin looking pretty chummy with the undead.
The girls with yet another zombie.
Mom and Dad with the girls and their cousin Emily Of course, our October is not complete without the annual trip to "Thriller". We got to see it at WSU this year, which was nice because it was closer and my dad decided to go. This was Mikaela's first year, too. I wondered how she would feel being surrounded by zombies, but apparently my fears were unfounded. She loved it!
Making faces at Frighmares!
Not really sure who this guy's supposed to be, but the girls are all smiles about it.
Three glam witches with two in training...does that constitute a coven?
Mikaela rockin' the MoNsTeR MaSh!
Mikaela is just a little too disturbing here! Yikes!
Ahhh Wednesday and Chucky...every little girl's dream. Although, Haylie does seem to cop the same attitude (of Wednesday, that is)! Frightmares is also on our list of Halloween activities. I actually think that's the funnest time in the park. Lagoon=boring. Frightmares=fabulous!
My two ghoulish zombies on Halloween night. Truly a fright!
Dad and Mom with the ghouls. Poor Chloe-she looks scared out of her little doggy wits. My favorite season may be summer, but my heart belongs to October and all things Halloween. I try to cram as much as is humanly possibly into 30 short days. I don't always get to do everything I want, but I get my fix. Luckily, my girls indulge me and happily smile whenever I drag them off to see something new. Halloween was fun, but we missed Daddy terribly (he had to attend a conference out of state). Here's looking forward to next Halloween!

Camping 2011!

Holy Cow! So, I'm posting camping trip pics from LAST YEAR! I'm sooo awesome at blogging! Oh well, its getting done-just not at warp speed. So here's some fun photos of our camping adventures of last year just in time to add to this year's collection. Hoop Lake and Flaming Gorge with Eric's brother BJ and his boys and my sister Dallin. Good times, no injuries, and only a few tears-can't complain about that. It was nice to get BJ back up on the mountain for the first time in years, too! Looking forward to many more camping trips to come!
