November 1, 08 We went to Kanab and Daniel took us out to the Sand Caves where we hiked a little and played in these cool caves! The guys discovered that they could throw these large chunks of sand stone and they would breakup into piles of sand.

Daniel, Kelly and Randy throwing sand stones (It's a guy thing) who can throw the farthest, or the biggest one!

Daniel, Kellly, Randy, Mikellle, Zeneth and Austin-the kids got their own version of the game throwing the sand and watching it break into piles.

There was so much to do at the Farm...swings, petting zoo, slides, chickens and roosters running wild, Austin and Mikelle loved chasng them around.
We rode the hay wagon out to the corn maze...I got lost and turned around in there...I wouldn't want to do it at night.

We went to Kanab for Halloween. Daniel had to work in the haunted house/spook alley that the Bank puts on for a fundraiser, so Mica needed help taking the kids trunk or treating and handing out candy, that was easy, we took the kids trick or treating while she got to hand out candy.!Saturday morning Daniel had football games, so we helped get some things done around the house...Mowing the lawn, getting things out to the shed and a little weeding....
Tyler, Zeneth, Austin and Mikelle weeding in their front yard

Austin had to get his little mower and follow Grandpa around the yard while he mowed the lawn

Austin trick or treating...he loved that all he had to do was hold out his bucket and they would give him treats!

The whole family got together at a cabin up in Mapleton Canyon for three days. We had an Elvis and Idaho theme. We had Elvis look alikes and made Mr Potato heads and launched them into the forest. It was just great to get away all together and enjoy each other!
