Thanksgiving Point

On the 14th, we drove through the lights at Thanksgiving Point. We learned that next year we will avoid Monday night at all costs because we waited in line for 45 minutes before we even got into the little show! It seems that everyone in Utah County had the same idea about how to spend FHE that night.

It was actually a little chilly! After we got through the lights, Scott suggested that we take a look at the live reindeer they had penned up by the gift shops. Those of use who were not so well-equipped in winter gear were really happy to take a quick look at the reindeer ("Oh, yes, there they are.") then get inside and take pictures. :)

The perfect pumpkin

When it comes to picking out our Halloween pumpkins, we have a little bit of a tradition going. For most of the past five years, we have driven out to the Red Barn in Santaquin, gone on a hayride out to their pumpkin patch, helped the little kids pick out pumpkins, then waited and waited and waited and waited some more :) for the older kids to find just the right one. This year it even started to get dark on us while we were waiting for them to find the perfect pumpkins! I'm just glad we made it out of there - the apple cider doughnuts at the gift shop were calling my name. :)

Garrett enjoys his food

Something I have never quite understood is why little people think playing in their food is so much fun. :) You can talk all you want about learning about the world they live in by experimenting with different textures, etc, but I still think it is gross. As long as we can keep Garrett at the table or counter, I don't mind too much, and I guess when he plays with his food it makes for funny pictures. We had some chips and salsa a few Saturdays ago, and Garrett sure enjoyed learning about the world of salsa!
