Happy Halloween!

It has been quite a Halloween week up at the canyon! Olive had a school Halloween party early in the week and Olive kicked off the holiday with her friends. Then on Saturday, we had a bake sale to raise money for Molly's Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Walk. The bake sale was a lot of work but it was fun. Molly and Robin even put on a turkey and bee costumes and rode around trying to drum up business. (Hula Hoops were also utilized to attract attention...)

Finally today we went trick or treating with some friends and had a great time. Olive, as you can tell, was Snow White (thank you Grammy Gail for such a great dress!!!), Will was "Alan" from the movie "The Hangover" and Molly was a witch....













Another Indiana Visitor!

Our second visitor from Indiana, Grammy Gail, came to stay with us for a while at the canyon. Olive enjoyed hanging out and showing off throughout the week. We even were able to try on the beautiful Halloween costume Grammy made. Olive is going to be a cute Snow White!










Indiana Visitors

The Southern Indiana family made a visit in mid October. We had a good visit (as usual) despite some crazy storms. (Who would have known they would have brought tornadoes out here!) We braved the weather, took a quick trip to Flagstaff and Betsy and I even squeezed in a mule ride. Can't wait until they come back!

More Portland Fun!

We made the big trip to Portland to attend Pop Pop Dewey's induction into the Portland Sports Hall of Fame. We had a great night celebrating the honor at the ceremony. Congratulations Pop Pop Dewey (a.k.a. The Godfather)!

While we were in Portland we made sure to take advantage of all the fun stuff that we can't find around Northern Arizona. We made a trip to a local playground, the Portland Children's Museum, and the Sauvie Island Pumpkin Patch where we picked out a nice big pumpkin for Pop Pop Dewey and Grammi Kim's house. It was such a fun time, we really hated to leave.
