Thanksgiving - Parachute fun- AZ snow- Homestead

Life is never boring hanging around Dave and Susan. This trip, we got to play with the giant parachute Dave brought home from work.

Here is Bryce playing cat and mouse. He is the cat searching for mice hiding under the parachute.

We went on several bike rides with Dave. On one ride, we rode past the cotton field in full bloom, ready for harvest. I had to bring the whole family back for pictures in the Arizona Snow!





We also spent some time at the Chaparral Park. The kids absolutely loved going to the dog park and sitting on a bench watching all the dogs play with their owners and with each other. Such well behaved dogs. They would often come over to the kids looking for attention. The kids ate it up!

Bryce and I at Chaparral Park.

On Saturday, we went to the Brown Homestead and cleaned up a bit. For the first time in his life, after years and years and hundreds of time mowing the grass, Sterling sat on a riding lawn mower and took care of the lawn. He soaked it up. 


We check on the wine cellar.

Its still there.


Sydney counted all the bottles. Inventory is at about 5,500, still with space to grow.

We ended the night with pizza for the kids and a night out for the adults at the traditional Golden Canyon (chinese). We were instructed to bring back Bahama Bucks afterward for everyone to enjoy. 

Oh Arizona. We love you. Especially in November.

two random pictures

Girl's Camp was back in June. It was Sydney's 1st Girl's Camp and I'm so glad I was able to go up and visit on Bishop's night. Girl's Camp is such a special place. It's awesome to see the enthusiasm and the testimony, hand in hand. For most 12 year olds, its the first time they really, truly feel the spirit in a personal, sort of invasive way. Those little 12 year old, first-years are surprised by it and it shows at the fireside testimony meeting as they bear their testimonies. They want to laugh  but instead they cry and they have no idea what is going on. I'm rambling.......
 
At the camp night ceremony, the Bishops had to do a skit. All the Bishops stood on stage and sang this song to the tune of "Popcorn Popping." It was adorable!
 


If Sydney is lucky, one of those "RM's bowing at her feet" will also know how to remodel bathrooms. Sometimes toilet seals don't work quite right or a backed up toilet goes really wrong and this is what happens. Scary stuff.
