Frantic Flurry of Fall Frivolities

 

It’s getting late and my mind begins to run away from me…

The fall activities thus far un-posted shall be compiled into one simple - or perhaps long - post.  It all depends on the quantity of pictures and how much they are calling to me, begging me to be included.

Though Halloween itself and the carving of pumpkins was already recorded, the choosing of said pumpkins has yet to be revealed.  We try and go to Grandma and Grandpa’s every year so that the kids, and parents can pick a pumpkin.  Oh, what fun!

The following fun family activity was also a special one, as we were all able to be present in the Manti Temple when David and Kelly were sealed for Time and All Eternity.  It was so, so cold and windy so the few pictures we got were taken in the “shadow” and protection of the temple’s walls.

The following weekend was our family’s turn to for Thanksgiving and we all had a great time.  A few photos of the festivities follow.

While definitely not as cold as it got in other places, this 4:30 pm temperature on the day before Thanksgiving, at the summit of Indian Canyon, was cold enough for me!

I love my Mom’s china and silver.  A lot.

Are you hungry yet?

 

Holly Days Festival fun that Friday in Vernal.

Though the post is long, I am so much more caught up and so much more tired than when I started that any and all cleverness (or craziness) has left me as I type with a head tilted sideways and eyes that are beginning to close…
