Cornbelly's Field Trip

Madi and I had the oppurtunity to go to Cornbelly's Corn Maze & Pumpkin Fest (http://www.cornbellys.com) last Tuesday with the UTCH (Utah Christian Homeschooling) group.  There was a big group of us.  In the co-op that we are a part of we have gotten to know some neat families.  There were five of them there on that day.  We had a fun time.

 

 

 

Madi, ready for some fun.  She started out with boots on because if we went to a corn maze in Oregon we would be walking in mud.  No mud in Utah, just hard dirt.

Emma's Earrings

Last Saturday Emma turned 12 years old.  She decided she was ready to get her ears pierced.  The plan was to do it with Madi when she was 10 years old, but she decided to wait.  I am proud of her as she was nervous.  Her sister and friend were right by her and she made it through.    

 

 

 

 

 

McKinley Visit

A few weeks ago we had Chris' parents come for a visit.  We had great fun.  We celebrated birthdays, went out to eat, went downtown, toured a chocolate factory, hiked, went on a picnic and much more.  Heidi (Chris' mom) took pictures, but we didn't have the cord to download them so we only have pictures from the day we took them to Silver Lake and Storm Mountain.  

 

 

 

 

 

Deveruex Visit

We were so glad that our friends were able to stop and spend a few days with us on their way to Oregon (the last week of August).  Unfortunately there was some sickness, but we still had a good time.  One of the days we were able to take a tour of Sweets Candy Factory and take a hike around Silver Lake ending our day roasting hot dogs and marshmallows at Storm Mountain.
