Halloween

Can you guess who this 3 year old mermaid is?Presenting our Mermaid and Giraffe:
My wonderful Aunt Ginny came to play with us on Halloween and was kind enough to pass out candy so we could all go trick or treating.

She was so sweet saying thank you and "happy halloween" to everyone she saw on the street.

This was the point when she was done.And done she was.

Thanksgiving Point

Thanksgiving Point has fun actitvites all year round and during the fall they do "Cornbelly's". We went with the Waite's and had a blast! Tractor RidesGames- Spider Web

Danelle's favorite: Princess Land with lots of princess activities

Utah State Football

Treehouse Museum

As parents, we all know those places that will ensure that your child will take a nap upon completion.

The Treehouse Muesum (they have a giant tree-house in the middle of the museum) is the place for my kids!

We love this place!

Danelle's Swim Lessons

This was Danelle's second year of swim lessons, but last summer it was really only playtime in the water. She got to do 2 sessions since I know how much she loves the pool!

She did great, and since she is in love with mermaids at the moment it worked out perfect for her to try and learn to swim, just like them!

Grandpa McKellar visit

*please excuse the delay in all these posts. Lane has been out of town a lot lately and these kids sure do keep me busy!

In August Grandpa McKellar came out to visit us for a few days. We headed over to Bear Lake for another one of Lane's triathalons, and he even took 1st in his division.

Since Grandpa McKellar had worked at Hill Airforce Base when he was in the Airforce, I decided it would be fun to take him and the kids to the muesum. It's huge and totally free, and Danelle loved all the real airplanes we got to see.

Friday night we went to an Ogden Raptors baseball game. Gunnison wasn't to impressed, but it was a fun evening actitivty to do in the summertime.

Thanks for coming out to visit Grandpa!

Cape Cod & Martha's Vineyard

Lane & I spent a week (no kids!) back East visiting Boston and some of the New England states. Our first stop was the beach! We went to Nauset Beach in Cape Cod. Click the link if you want to see where it's located.

Beautiful beach, beautiful weather, and I got to lay on the sand and catch up on some reading.

Lane did a little body surfing.

We ate several of these while we were out there. Lobster rolls are a big thing out there and basically consist of lobster, some mayo, sometimes 1 or 2 other ingredients, and then you put it on a bun. Soooo good! We made it our mission to try as many of these as possible while there. (7 total :)

The next day Lane got up nice and early and fished at Martha's Vineyard.(I slept in till 10 then did my 10 mile run along the river- training for my half marathon & shopped at H&M, best way to spend a day for both of us).

He loved it and caught a dozen or so pretty big fish.

We took a ferry over to Martha's Vineyard and walked around for the day but the weather was a little rainy so we didn't stay to long on the island.

The towns were really fun to walk around and we found some really good seafood places to eat at.

I think Boston my be one of my new favorite towns- more in the post below!
