Fire Station


I forgot to share this. Last month was the annual Fire Station Open House and they had a great surprise for everyone. They were giving rides in the fire truck. We waited in line for at least a half hour, but soon it was our turn.

Josh was given the honor of riding in the front. He and Emily were both wanting to ride in front, but "Eeny Meeny Miney Moe" solved the problem. The rest of us sat in the back. We were given headsets so that we could talk to Josh and each other. It was a lot of fun. The kids also got to spray the fire hose, escape a smoke-filled room and see fire fighter propel down a wall. They also got to ride on a machine that imitates a head on car crash; they called it the bumper cars.

We Love Fall

We have had some fun this fall. We drove up Weber Canyon to see the changing leaves, but I think we may have to go earlier in the season because the color I saw the most was brown. I really wish we lived closer to Big Cottonwood Canyon, it is so beautiful.

The kids also had a lot of fun on Halloween. Their Grandma's Annual Halloween party was great and topped off with a limo ride to an ice cream party.

The kids were disappointed that they couldn't wear their costumes to school.
