Another month of fun....
We rented a huge house in Mt. Carmel, right next to East Zions. We stayed there with three other families. The views were amazing. We got a super amazing deal on the place and had tons of fun. It was up in the mountains. Elisabeth, Rebekah and I went bike riding. Jonathan and I played chess. Jason went rifle shooting. We went swimming and hiking. Zion NP is so pretty. It was nice to get away from everything and be up in nature. The day before our trip everyone got the stomach flu... We went anyway. By the next afternoon we all were feeling better and ready to party.
We have a tradition with our family vacations. We get postcards from wherever we go and when we get back everyone writes on the back of their postcard their favorite things about the trip. It is fun to see what everyone remembers and think is cool. Jonathan liked the mile long tunnel in Zions. Jacob liked catching the lizard. Elisabeth loved making a new friend.
We tried to take a family picture. It failed horribly. Getting everyone to look at the camera and not have a weird face is quite an experience. I thought you would get a laugh out of some of these pictures.
For Halloween Elisabeth dressed up as a a witch, Rebekah a wizard, Jonathan a pirate, Jacob a ninja, and Kayla a witch. Jason and I dressed up as Salt and Pepper (not the group).
We got a brand new swing set a couple of months ago, a Lifetime Playset, so we finally said goodbye to our old swing set that we have had for 9 years. Lots of fun memories. Picture is of old swing set.
