Brinley's Halloween Party

For some crazy reason I decided to let Quincy and Brinley invite a bunch of friends over for a Halloween Party!  They made and delivered invitations and we planned lots of games and treats. Quincy's was on a Friday night and Brinley's was on a day after school.  Brinley has such a cute group of friends that she goes to school with.  She has made some great friends out of the area because of the Dual Immersion Chinese program that she is doing at school.  They are a fun group!  It was wild and crazy most of the time, but it only lasted 21/2 hours!

Homemade Corndogs!

Dad thought it would be fun to make our own corndogs!  I didn't think it sounded so great, but I didn't care as long as the grease was not in my house!  The garage worked out to be a great happy medium!  They actually turned out really yummy...for a corndog!  Our kids are lucky to have such a fun Dad!

Grandpa's Goats!

On our way back from Island Park we stopped in to see Grandpa and Grandma Southwick.  We love the little farm Grandpa has made.  The kids got a real treat when Grandpa let them try to milk the goats!  Quincy and Emilee thought it was the coolest ever, Kade wasn't the least bit interested and Brinley was a bit scared!  Em quickly posted it on facebook for all of her friends to see!

Island Park with Hadley Family

Chris and I got the itch to go somewhere over the kids Fall break.  We found a great deal on a cabin in Island Park to rent.  We went to Sunday dinner one day and asked who wanted to join us!!  We got a few takers!  We had our family, Clint and Heidi's family, Chris and Jenni's family, G&G, and Grandma Wyatt.  We spent 3 nights in the cabin and had a great time.  It was a little cold but we still spent plenty of time sightseeing in Yellowstone, riding the 4 wheeler and playing games in the cabin.  We also ate some yummy food.  Everyone took a turn fixing a meal and we were well fed.  My favorite was Uncle Clint's homemade french fries!  Yum!  

Grandpa brought his 4 wheeler and it was the favorite for the kids.  Emilee and Sara thought they owned the roads on this thing! Anytime we were at the cabin, the 4 wheeler was in high demand. I think Grandpa might have had as much if not more fun than the kids.  He loves to give rides and the kids will definitely take him up on his offer!

So fun!  Super glad we pulled it together last minute and went!  Can't pass up opportunities to play and have fun together!
