They are growing so fast, it's just not fair. We miss out on a lot of the fun living so far away. They are such sweethearts and I love them very, very much.
Yesterday Andie was noticing that all the other houses had pumpkins but their house had none so we decided to go find some pumpkins. Andie got all dressed up in her scarf and her "cool" boots and was so ready to go.
We went to the Pumpkin Farm to find some pumpkins we could carve into Jack-o-Lanterns for Halloween.
I couldn't help but laugh when Andie found her own little pumpkin. She was so happy she wouldn't put it in the wheel barrow. She carried it all over the field and it was a huge field.
We found four pumpkins that would be great for carving and I paid for them while Andie and Elsie took turns sitting on the old tractors. They loved it.
Then Andie found her own wheel barrow and tried to push Elsie around in it but all she managed to do was tip it over and send Elsie to the ground crying. She didn't cry long, all it took was the friendly black cat they found laying lazily on the bales of hay by the entrance. The girls loved the cat and everything was suddenly all better.After we had found our pumpkins and had all the fun we could have at the Pumpkin Farm Adam drove us up around where a fire had burned the whole hillside above South Jordan. What a disaster. It was a miracle that only three houses were lost. I'm sure many more have smoke damage but those people are extremely lucky.
We spent the evening in Draper and when it was time for Andie and Elsie to go to bed we headed south to visit Bob's parents and sister.
This morning I went into Provo to visit an old high school friend. I had a great time reminiscing and I realized how much I've missed over the years. It was nice to renew our friendship and talk about all that has transpired over the past thirty-five years since high school. It was just such a great afternoon.
Tomorrow we're headed back to Draper to Adam and Brittany's. I'm not sure if we'll go to church with them or head home when they leave for church on Sunday. Adam wants us to stay for the football games but that puts us home awfully late.
It's late now and Bob's been snoring for more than an hour so I guess I'll try and get some sleep too. We'll see what the rest of the weekend brings. All I know for sure is that I love having these four day weekends.
