The Witches 2009

As a tradition, we like to take the kids to see the Witches at Gardner Village in October. This year we decided to go with most of my sisters and their kids during the day. Well, that was a mistake. We went on a day that all of Alpine School Distict was out of school and it was a gorgeous day (70 degrees) so everybody and their dog was there too. But we still had fun and enjoyed a yummy cookie at the end.

Here's all the grandkids (minus 4 of them that live out of state). As you can see on the far right, Zane is crying. He and Marcus were playing around and Marcus pushed Zane off the bale of hay. So Zane was upset. He then cried for 10 minutes about it.

So in this picture he was still crying...

Finally I made him laugh by saying, "Zane, don't smile. Whatever you do, don't smile!" Well then he smiled and laughed and all was well. Geez, children!

The Witches

Last Monday night, for Family Home Evening, we took the kids to Gardner Village to see the Witches. This is our third year going and it's kinda become a tradition. The weather was perfect. This was the first time we didn't need jackets or coats. The kids loved it and to end the night, we stopped by the bakery for something sweet to eat.
