Makena (7) is a rock star. Rylee (6) is a kitty cat. Ciara (3) is a fairy. Thane (1) is Peter Pan. They had a great time trick or treating and getting all the candy they could.
We had a picnic at a friend's house out in the country. Randy and Thane were both drawn to the riding lawn mower and couldn't get enough. Randy drove the kids around on a "hay ride" (minus the hay) and Thane wanted to "drive" it all night long.
We went out to Sea World for their Fright Fest. The kids had a great time. Rylee was the "bravest" when it came to the scary clowns and the werewolves. She was giving them her scary face and scaring them back.
Mandy was off to the MTC. She is going to serve in the Independence, Missouri mission. We had such a great time spending her last few days of "normal" life with her. We know that she will do a great job serving the Lord for the next 18 months.
Thane and I had a great time in Utah visiting family. We were up there for 6 days and it flew by. We got a taste of some chilly weather and had to break out the long pants and sweaters.
