Fall Fun

Halloween has always been a favorite holiday of mine. But now I'm beginning to realize that its not really Halloween I love, but the Fall season in general! I love hearing the rain fall and bundling up with my hot chocolate and book. I love the soothing colors of the trees and the smell of fire in the chimneys when you walk down the street. Rain and camp fire have to be 2 of my most favorite smells. Too bad you rarely find them together. Well, maybe its a good thing, it is a bit tricky to go camping in the rain. Fall is just exciting for me. The holidays, family visits, and potential vacations each month. Just this makes the sugar powered kids in the background seem tolerable :)

This year Kelsie's class was able to go to Impossible Acres Farm. And thanks to Mark staying home, I was able to go with her and enjoy the scenery. We also just had our wards Trunk or Treat last night. It was a ton of fun as always. And thank goodness it happened before the rain came! Brooke invited a friend to come and they had a blast together. Her Mom came as well which I was glad for. Brooke has invited her friend to church and now that they've been there, they might come "some Sunday". :) I was impressed with Brooke's invitation. Its always been hard for me to extend and invitation to anyone. So here are some pix of our little adventures...
