Halloween

We are probably the last to post our Halloween pictures, but we have a few curious grandparents. We really had a fun week of Halloween activities.  On the Saturday before Halloween we took the girls to "Boo at the Zoo."  As our nephew Jaren said, "It was a madhouse!"  The girls had fun dressing in their costumes and seeing the REAL animals.  

The following week included class parties, carving our pumpkins, and of course trick-or treating!

(Lauren and Brandon designed the pumpkin that is a dracula cat with glasses.  Elle and I made a happy pumpkin design.)

Before trick-or-treating we visited my Grandma Leak and Aunt Margaret who live near by. Grandma Leak always has a treat for the girls, so they love visiting.  We love her so much.  (I don't know that person with the pink wig...... what was she thinking!) 

Scarecrow Festival

One of the many fun things happening around the Wasatch Valley during the month of October was the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point.  It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. 

 The festival was geared toward kids.... so there were a lot of jump houses.  I'm not sure what to think about that (I do, but I won't say).  The girls had so much fun.  Elle loved the jump houses but was scared to death of the slides.

There were also plenty of carnival games and face painting.....
