Witches and Indians

Fall Break was full of fun for the kiddos this past weekend.
I love when they are all home with me...

We get to sleep in together, relax and do fun things that don't involve working or doctors/therapists.

We went to Gardner Village for the Witch Festival for our first time this year. I thought it was the absolute cutest Halloween"y" event that I have ever been to. Abby had a blast, and Deak had fun after he had eaten 14 meals at Archibald's Restaurant. (I seriously cannot believe what he can fit into that 22 lb body of his at times).

In the Petting Zoo...

Abby was fine walking around with pigs and billy goats, but had to leave when she thought a dog was going to be let loose.

Go Figure.

Abby and one of the "Witches."


We HAD to take a picture by the witches playing baseball.

I gave up trying to get a good picture of all the kids - so this is what you get.

Overall - a fun day with good food and good friends.

Now, onto the Indians...or should I say, UTES.

We dragged Abby with us to another U Game, and she so pleasantly complied:) So well, in fact, that she recieved another bribery tour through the giftshop and scored a cheerleader outfit. Blair and I really do love taking her and letting her grab all the attention for an afternoon. I think she secretly likes it too.

(Game #2)

It was beautiful weather; more like a summer game actually...and the Utes won, of course. Now, they just need to keep the win streak going or "Crazy Hair Man" (as Blair and I like to call him - let's just say he comes alone to the games, and with more "U" paraphernalia on than Abby could ever buy at the store) on the end of our row may end up needing to find another past time/life. And...that might be difficult.

Thank Goodness Fall has stuck around a little longer...We are not taking it for granted and soaking it up while we can.

Pictures are great!!! I am not even an Utes fan or BYU for that matter but I am too embarrased to ever say I would cheer for my alma mater, the Aggies. I am fairly sure you can count the number of games they have won in the past 3 years on one hand........
