1. Eat yummy food at the East Idaho State Fair
Josh & I had some classics that we both love: the fried turkey leg, the tortatoes, and the funnel cake. And we tried some new foods, too: the fried cheesecake bites, the chocolate bacon, and a new smoothie flavor.
2. Have a party for Jonah & Micah's birthday
It was their turn for a friend party this year, and they decided on a pirate theme. It was a fun, and successful party with lots of boys running around!
3. Watch Ammon run in XC meets
This was Ammon's first year running Cross Country, and he did so well and he really enjoyed it, too. I will be posting more about this in an upcoming blog.
4. Go to HS football games
Due to the severe smoke conditions this fall, our football games scheduled at home were either cancelled or played at another high school that's 2 hours away. Only ONE game was played at home: the last one on the schedule, senior night. We all went and had a great time watching our team win. It didn't feel like fall until we could attend a football game, and I was so glad we finally could go to one!
5. Go camping for the last time this year
Our last camping trip of the season was to Challis Hot Springs in October. We usually go there in the spring, but didn't this year. So when Ammon had a XC meet scheduled there, we took the opportunity to make a family camping trip out of it, and it was so wonderful!
6. Sell pumpkins from the patch
This was the 4th year we've had a pumpkin patch, and sales were so successful this year that we sold out of all the big ones. We were blessed with good weather and nice customers this year. I will be posting more about this soon, too.
7. Dress up & go trick-or-treating on Halloween
I love Halloween! I'm so grateful for ward parties, the merchant's trick-or-treating, school parties, and Halloween Carnivals that give me and my children the opportunity to dress up, get candy, and have a good time! More to come about Halloween... (I'm obviously behind on my blogging)
8. Have a bonfire
With all the branches that fell off our trees in the major windstorm this summer, our burn pile was huge and we were looking forward to burning it down this fall since we couldn't in the summer's hot and dry conditions. One weekend in October, Malachi (Josh's brother) came home to visit from college with a bunch of friends, and Josh's dad burned the pile when they were here. I was in the pumpkin patch that day, and couldn't leave to go watch or take photos, but I let my pyro-lovers Jonah and Micah leave the patch to go help burn dry limbs and leaves in the fire.
9. Celebrate Josh's birthday
I took Josh to Boise overnight for his birthday the first weekend in November. We went to a BSU game, ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, took a tour of the newly renovated Boise Temple, and did some shopping. It was a lovely retreat!
10. Eat Thanksgiving dinner with family
Edward & Kathy hosted this year, and all of Josh's siblings came home for the holiday. We had a great time playing games, eating, visiting, and lounging!
