"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Moo-ma-palooza

Yesterday the kids had a half day to kick off their week of Fall Break. We decided we needed a little "autumn" experience. So we headed to a local dairy that was offering a free family event. We saw bunnies, tom turkeys, a donkey, a horse, goats, and LOTS of cows. We took a hay ride around the dairy and made our way thru a maze made out of barrels of hay. At least we got some balloons and a free frisbie---WOOHOO! Delainee went on a field trip to Schnef Farms last week where she got to pick out a pumpkin and go on all sorts of rides. This, unfortunately, did not live up to the hype that she had been dishing out to Laetner all week! The scarecrow and pumpkin display was about the most exciting thing for Laetner.

Laetner was to scared to touch any of the animals in the petting zoo--not like him at all. I especially could not get him to go anywhere near the "roaming cows"....
And it was HOT! Poor Waverly had some very red cheeks.
I am gonna have to make it up to Laetner somehow. The whole time he kept asking where the pumpkin patch was because he wanted to decorate a pumpkin with stickers just like he had seen his cousin Crew Bob do at his own field trip this week.
Poor Spiderman! We will think of something!

We have a "soon to be available" Spiderman costume if you are interested-mask and all. Although, being true followers of Spidey, you probably already have one.
