Halloween

Tonight we are in charge of the Trunk or Treat at our church.   This year we are doing donuts and applecider at 6:00 and then the trunk or treat will begin at 6:30 ---  we'll have prizes for the best decorated cars......  

Here is a picture of one of the Halloween decorations Grandpa had at the halloween party.   After we came in from playing Kick the Can - Grandpa dressed up in the clothes and sat really still -  we sent the kids out in the garage again.....    they had no idea - then Grandpa growled and stood up!!    EVERYONE screamed -  Allie turned sheet white - Brecklyn and Karson wouldn't come off the stairs to the garage....   we had a good time.  

Happy Halloween everyone!

Wizard of Oz

On Friday we had our annual Halloween Party with our grandkids - 14 (and 1 friend)  of them were there.  Grandpa did his usual EXCELLENT garage decorating and turned it into a spook house.  We cooked hotdogs on the firepit outside, ate donuts off a string, decorated pumpkin faces and glued them to ghords.    Played pass the pumpkin game and watched the movie Willow and Goosebumps until 12:30 that night.....   (I'll add pictures of the kids and spook house later.)
My all time favorite movie is Wizard of Oz... when I had my first granddaughter I bought her a pair of ruby red slippers....

We asked the grandkids to come dressed in their costumes ~ we had cheerleaders, a racecar driver, tinkerbell, soccer bums, hawaiian dancer, unicorn, hippie, ironman, skeletor -  and then my youngest son's (Brian) family walked in the door... and this is what I saw.....      

And you know me - it brought tears to my eyes....

McKinley has on RUBY RED SLIPPERS.... (now we want to see their parents as the Wizard and Glenda the Good Witch)

Great Costumes by all!!!!   Thanks to all of them for adding another awesome memory for Grandpa and I.

Kolob Canyon (Zion's National Park)

Victor and I went to Cedar City to attend the Shakespearean Festival (our first time).  During the day, we visited Kolob Canyon (north part of Zion's National).   My kids (Katie, Mike & Brian) have always teased me about how *BAD* I take pictures...  so this trip up the canyon ~ I did what they do - I took lots of pictures of pretty things.... 
So how did I do????
Victor and I did a moderate hike for 5.5 miles - it took about 3 hours and it was beautiful when we got to the end at Double Arch.
