Fall Fun

My parents spent a whole week in our neck of the woods during October. We really made the most of it while they were here. We went to my niece's choir concert, celebrated Grandma Sandberg's 110th birthday, went out to dinner together, attended a student film festival, celebrated Aaron's birthday and our ward primary program, and went to a pumpkin patch. It had a corn-kernel playland, corn maze, haunted house (aka haunted storage unit), and a petting zoo: home of the saddest kangaroo ever. And the Bluemlein cousins just happened to be there, too. Great minds...

We also went to the BYU homecoming parade, which I still maintain is the best one around. You don't have to come early to find a good spot. There are free pancakes before hand. Tons of candy. And it's over before anyone gets bored. This year, I cheered for the JDawgs float, and they threw me some free, foil-wrapped goodness. See? Best parade.

We had a fun little birthday celebration for Aaron in the backyard after our primary program that weekend. Sadly, I forgot to take pictures. Awesomely, Aaron is now half-way to 70. 

I decided to take it easy on Halloween this year because it felt like we celebrated Halloween about five times last year. Too much! So this year we just went to the ward trunk-or-treat and called it good. Okay, so we did also carve pumpkins on actual Halloween, but that wasn't so bad.

I wonder if these two will ever get any closer in height.

Does Annie not look like a full-grown woman? Is she going to prom already? Scary!
