Pumpkins

The kids have had Thursday and Friday off this week. So we decided to take the kids to Payson to get their pumpkins. It really was a very cute little place. There was a petting zoo, my personal favorite. All sorts of booths to look at. We went on a ride behind a tractor and then the kids picked out their pumpkins.





















Ok so I have a random cow story. This little calf was only 2 days old and he loved me. He kept licking me, sucking on my fingers, and following me. I know kind of gross when you think about it, but oh so cute. Anyhow I totally had a flashback of my mission.

One of my companions and I were walking across this huge field. There were a few boulders and a few trees sporadically on this field. Well we were talking about nothing important and we heard a loud noise behind us.

When we turned around we saw that three cows were charging us. Well of course we screamed and took off running. My companion was able to scramble up onto a boulder and I kept running. For those of you who know me well.....I don't run. I finally decided that I was just going to have to die, because I could go no further.

When I stopped I closed my eyes and just stood there and waited. Nothing happened so I opened my eyes and was face to face with a cow. I saw one of the other cows had run passed me and I had no idea that my companion was stuck on the rock because the other cow was with her.

The cow that was in front of me snorted, sniffed me, and then licked my face. GROSS!!! I thought my companion was going to die laughing.

Anyhow the little calf reminded of that fun little adventure I had a lifetime ago!!

Playing At The Park

Well we just decided we needed to hurry up and go play before the snow comes. It was a beautiful day and we were able to go for a nice walk and the kids played hard at the park. It always makes me sad to think that soon, we all have to hibernate. Oh well, we at least have pictures so we can remember the good weather!






Nathan loved the slide!


Hee Hee Look at Mary's hair!


Of course the dog had to climb up to be in the pic.
