We were so anxious for Fall Break to arrive this year. We were needing a break from school and some quality time together. We managed to squeeze in a ton of fun, so it was an awesome week!
Monday after chores were done, we had a fun lunch from Arctic Circle. The kids always love getting their Halloween flashlights this time of year.
After lunch, we built a huge fort in the living room and Mommy read ghost stories to the kids.
We also made spider cookies on Monday afternoon and that evening, we "boo'd" our neighbors with our spooky treats.
For FHE that night, we went on a fun Halloween cruise down the Provo river. It was a fun and slightly spooky evening, but most all, we just had fun. We had a funny Pirate who took us on our boat ride. He told us a new, spooky version of Little Red Riding Hood.
Caleb is just amazed by all the Halloween things everywhere we go! He's afraid of Spooky Spiders though.
Tuesday morning, Mommy took Gwen to dance and then met up with Aunt Jodi for lunch. (It's nice when Adam is home to babysit!) In the afternoon, we headed down to the Big Red Barn to get some delicious apple cider. That's one of our Fall Break traditions. And of course, you can't go to the Big Red Barn and not get ice cream. Even in October.
Adam's feet are getting too big to make ghost feet, so we tried ghost hands instead. But, we decided we like ghost feet better. Guess I'll just have to find bigger paper for Adam.
Tuesday night, we gathered at Aunt Dee's house with the rest of the family for a Great Pumpkin Party. We had dinner and watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Well, we sort of watched it. We all pretty much recited the entire thing. What can we say? It's a family classic!
Caleb loved watching it though, and we all loved watching him laugh at Snoopy.
