Today we did...

We started this morning with making Carmel apples. Our first batch did not turn out, but we go the hang of it and our second batch turned our nice. The kids were so nice to help me unwrap 100 caramels. We later went to the Sweets Factory in Salt Lake City. We got to wear these really "cute" hair nets and eat some really good candy. KaeLynn did really well wearing her hair net, but was not patient for the tour. At least the candy made her happy.

We walked through Temple Square and went to the visitor center. The Christus is such a beautiful statue of Christ. KaeLynn recognized him immediately and called him Jesus. We also went to the Joesph Smith Memorial Building and watched the Joesph Smith the Prophet of the Restoration movie. This movie is amazing. I cried like a baby. I highly recommend anyone to watch it. It gives a good history of his life and what the early members of the church went through to establish the church. The movie is about 90 mins long so KaeLynn of course did not want to sit through the movie. Auntie Brooke was so kind to entertain her so Cavan and I could enjoy the movie.



We finished our day eating at Brick Oven. We met up with our friend Melissa and her boyfriend and enjoyed great food! The kids did pretty well for only sleeping in the car for a short time.

Cornbelly's

Tonight we went to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving point in Lehi. We were stuck in the corn maze forever and the kids were starting to get really cranky. It was also very muddy and really dark making the walk even harder especially with kids. It was a challenge and we were so relieved to find a way out!They had this huge air pillow that we jumped on. Of course the kids love to jump. KaeLynn was more comfortable jumping when I was with her.We got to go on a hay ride and it was nice that we had the whole ride to our selves. We were able to see all these really neat carved pumkins on the ride.This is the kids corn maze that was a lot easier and Adam was much happier about this one.These two are so adorable! It is so nice that they get a long so well.They had a whole room just filled with corn. KaeLynn loved this room and did not want to leave. She loves to pick things up and organize them into piles.KaeLynn was very grumpy and cold in the end. The kids were troopers for as long as we stayed.

Fun times

Adam and KaeLynn are getting along very well. KaeLynn loves it here. A whole room just for toys with an indoor play gym.

Cavan is really enjoying his vacation! It's a good thing because he needs it!

Snow in October!

This morning in Utah we woke up to beautiful snow! KaeLynn loved looking at the snow from the inside, but had no interest in playing in it. It took forever to convince her to go outside with us. We made a snow man and the kids jumped on the trampoline with the snow. It all melted away by the afternoon. Then we drove out to BYU to go to the book store. I love BYU and just like being in the environment of all the students. After that we met up with Mike on his lunch break.

Utah 2010

We have driven to Utah to visit Cavan's brother Mike with his wife Brooke and son Adam. We made the drive on Sunday night and it went really well. Cavan and I each took a 6hr shift while the other slept. KeLynn slept about 8hrs total and watch movies when she was awake (thanks to Casey and Roy'l for letting us use their car with their sweet DVD set up!) When we arrived we all took a 4hr nap! Our first night in Utah we went to Monte L Bean museum. It is a museum of real stuffed animals. KaeLynn really enjoyed seeing all the animals. Adam was so cute. He kept asking Brooke all concerned if the animals were real, and she would say yes, but they are dead don't worry. He felt better after that. We ended the night at the BYU creamery and ate yummy ice cream!

Hood River 2010

This year we went to the fruit loop in Hood River a week earlier than we normally do and it turned out to be better! We had more pumpkins to choose from and the weather was gorgeous! As usual we had a blast and ate a ton of junk food! This is one of my favorite things to do with family. It is so pretty here in the fall and all the fall festivities made this trip perfect!
