I just ripped off the whole month of October from our calendar and it didn't even have a thing written down because it went too fast. We kicked it off by going to Conference in Utah where Garrett had a Polish mission reunion.
The Polish was really fun....for everyone that spoke Polish. We did sealings before the dinner....in Polish. All the Elders (former) were in heaven. All the wives had glazed eyes since we sat for 2 hours without understanding anything. I think I feel the spirit and concentrate much better in English.
While the men all went to Priesthood we went with the ladies to Riverwoods...
We made wishes in the fountain, ate chocolate apples at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory (if you haven't partaken of such a dessert, you must make all the necessary sacrifices to do so).
We also enjoyed Bikenstaffs childrens toy store where you can ride a rocking horse the size of a real pony. It smells much nicer. And the back isn't sweaty. I like horseback riding except I have always had a problem with the fact that the horses back is disgustingly sweaty. Lets get back to the recap and not linger on sweaty horses.
We spent the night at my grandma Harris' house. I know everyone loves their grandma but if you met my grandma you would feel raging jealousy that she isn't on your family tree. There's not a better 85 year old anywhere. She's more entertaining than watching a redbox and has the most delightful personality of anyone I know.
Coming to Utah is always a treat but one of the added bonuses is the fact that Liv and Grace basically feel like they are at Disneyland. In fact Disneyland might be a bit of a let down because I don't think Micky would be nearly as interested in giving them attention as my family is. Liv loves being in charge and had the whole family hold up these ripped pieces of paper. She didn't have a plan, she just liked the power and had everyone pass them back in and then after she had collected them she passed them back out... you get the idea.
Liv's face in this photo accurately depicts her feelings about being at my moms house.
Em and Cole flew into Provo on Sunday so Grace was beyond delighted to have her best friend back.
Even though I didn't grow up in Lehi and have lived in 4 different houses in the last 4 years, it always always feels like nowhere else on Earth to pull up in the driveway and be home.
