Halloween.

Steve and I were sick with nasty colds the week of Halloween. So, we stayed cooped up most of the week. BUT we still managed to do some fun Halloween festivities!

So, here is what we did in pics... (everyone who we hung out with didn't mind that we were sick)

Carved Pumpkins at my Dad & Mom's and Halloween Dinner

It was fun carving pumpkins with everyone! And Mom made a yummy Halloween dinner with Pumpkin bread bowls with dad's DELICIOUS chili and a creative tombstone dessert.

Halloween Dinner at Bob and Ellen's

This dinner was so creative!! Ellen made a menu full of Halloween surprise foods. We would tell her what we wanted not knowing what it was. It was super fun and really creative! I love it! When we have kids this is on my Halloween tradition to do list.

Well, That was how we celebrated. Happy Halloween!!

Young Women Halloween Party!

I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. the YOUNG WOMAN program! I'm so grateful to heavenly father for giving me the opportunity to work with so many fun and uplifting girls!

Beehives were in charge of the Halloween Party for the primary kids and the kids loved it!! We did face painting, read Halloween stories, made halloween bags, a parade and Halloween games. It was a really fun night!! I sure love these girls!

Disneyland Trip part 5-SEAWORLD day #2!

Friday, the 22nd: Woot-Woot another day at Seaworld! It was SO nice waking up and only being a couple minutes from Seaworld.-Everyone was happy!

It was another fun filled day! We got to see lots and the weather was perfect! The sun was shining all day. :)

Here's what we did:

Touched Sting Ray's

Steve and I went to Shamu's Story

The trainers talked about the Whale's names, how old they are, how much they eat and they also showed us how they train the whales!

After the show we met up with the Rappleye's at the dolphin exhibit.

Okay. This is my most favorite part of Seaworld.

Feeding and touching a Dolphin

Pure awesomeness. I've ALWAYS wanted to touch and feed a dolphin. Dream come true.

After feeding the Dolphins, we split up from the Rappleye's while they went to Elmo's Land and Steve and I did our own thing.

We loved Blue Horizons so much, we went and saw that again!

Then we went to the Wild Arctic Exhibit

We saw a Big, fat Walrus

The exhibit was so awesome! It was like we were really in the Arctic!

we found a bear cave

and bear tracks!

We saw a Beluga Whale

Then we saw the Penguins

Before we knew it, it was already time to meet up and see Believe again!

We ended the day with the Shark Exhibit.

The shark exhibit was fun, not my favorite.

A full day of Seaworld goodness! I'm so happy that we were able to go there! I LOVED it!!!

Saturday, the 23rd: Is our trip really almost over? I couldn't believe that we had already been in California for a full week! It went by super fast!!

Saturday morning Deni and I played Hide and Seek from Steve. All of us cleaned up our stuff and loaded up into the car. We drove and drove and drove.... We drove to St. George and stayed with Marie's uncle and aunt-Vicky and Detlief. NICEST people ever. Right when we got there they bbq us some hamburgers. We ate and talked and then when they went to sleep Steve and I and Tim and Marie stayed up playing 3-13. Super fun night.

Leaving the Resort-so long to the sun!! (we came home and the next day it was snowing) :(

Room we stayed in at Detlief and Vicky's

Sunday, the 24th: We woke up to Vicky making pancakes, toast and eggs. How sweet is that? We had a nice breakfast and then Detlief showed us the golf course that they live on. It's a really nice place. Unfortunately, time flew by and it was time to leave. We drove most of the day!

I'm really so grateful that Steve and I were able to go on a nice vacation and to also spend time with our besties-The Rappleye fam!
