Engh Gardens

One of my friends invited us to Engh Gardens for a fun fall activity.  We started out with a pirate story teller...the kids got a treat and got to pick out a little pumpkin.  They also had a pirate ship for the kids to play on and a hay maze.   There were lots of cute Halloween decorations and some great picture taking spots.  It was surprisingly warm for mid-October...fun was had by all....thanks Ash for getting it all organized!

Claire and Cohen

Claire and her cousin Cohen have become good little friends over the past few months....

I really have no clue what they were doing below...it involved poking a piece of paper while the other laughed hysterically...

They were always within a few feet of each other at the pool...

They were puppies in Logan...

And ate paper together....yum yum....

 

They loved the zoo animals... 

We are going to miss their family...they are moving to Texas in a month.  Jaxon will miss his Mario buddy, Caden....Claire will miss playing with Cohen.  

Logan

We went to Utah State for the weekend with my in-laws.
The guys went to the BYU game...there are some teams you can feel good about losing too...USU is not one of them.  Hope the Cougs can figure something out so we can win a few games this season.

While the guys were at the game, Jeff's sister's and I sat by the pool and looked at magazines while the kids swam.  We had a good variety....US, Country Living, Martha Stewart, Better Homes and Garden....

On Saturday, we went to a really nice park...we played vollleyball and let the kids play...then we went to Wal-Mart for a Trimble tradition.  Each person has 6 dollars to spend for lunch at a grocery store.  It's fun to see the total and see how well you can stay in budget.  We were only over 5 dollars..the best we've ever done.  We made our own sandwiches for our family....we could've fed another family with all the leftovers.   We ate our lunches and hung out at the park till the men went to priesthood session.  While the men were gone, the kids did more swimming and we did more magazine swapping.  I found some great Fall/Halloween ideas and recipes...can't wait to try them out.
On Sunday, we watched conference...Grandpa Dave wasn't sure how he ended up as the Nursery Leader...but the kids sure had fun being puppies and getting treats for tricks and good behavior....

After conference and checking out of the hotel, we went back to our favorite park.  They have a zoo that you can walk through at very minimal cost.  For a dollar zoo, it's pretty impressive.

We were looking forward to stopping at Maddox in Brigham City on the way home for a nice Sunday dinner...unfortunately they were closed.  We settled for Chuck-A-Rama...turned out not too bad.  It was a very nice weekend...fun to go somewhere, but not too far away.
