We have had a busy October. Charles brother, Leonard, got married (i'll post those pics later), we've had hikes, parties, work and I'm studying for a national certification exam. When I pass the exam I will be a certified Diabetes educator! So, these pictures are of a hike Charles took Andy on. Charles is in the young mens presidency, so they are working on merit badges. This 10 mile hike was part of the hiking merit badge. There is no better time to go hiking than the fall. Look at those gorgeous leaves!
So, I have to tell you about that spider bag. I bought it at Target a few weeks ago. Andy LOVES it. He carries it around everywhere. He sleeps with it, eats with it and even tries to sneak it into the bathroom when its potty time ( I had to draw the line there!). We went to a Trunk'or Treat the night before this hike. Andy wanted to take the spider bag and candy on the hike. Charles said Andy held the bag the entire 10 miles!
So, the scouts aren't the fastest hikers. It took them about 8 hours to do the 10 mile hike! Bless their hearts! Andy took a little nap. If you look closely, you can see drool going down his face!
On Sunday we went to Bart's house for a family Halloween party. We had a chili cook off and costume contest. It was a super fun night. While we were waiting for everyone to get there, we took the kids outside to play in the leaves. I love this picture of Addison!
Andy loved it. In the picture below you can see his leg sticking out. It was a pretty deep pile to jump into.
3 cute little Bees! Hannah and Addison are Bart's girls and then our cute little Dallin.
My cute sister-in-law, Holly, made this skunk costume for her son Aaron. It seriously looked store bought, she is pretty much a pro! He won the costume contest by a landslide, you can see why. The kids loved his big tail. They all wanted to lay on it and pull it. Obviously Aaron didn't love that, so his costume came off fairly quickly.
Here is our little spider Andy and our little Bee Dallin.
The beloved spider bag. The other funny thing about this whole situation is that Andy doesn't even want to eat the candy. He carried it around all weekend without eating a single piece!
At this point Andy's costume started falling apart. You can kind of see the spider legs we made. It was a fun month and we are looking forward to a fun/crazy/busy fall!
