Happy Halloween!

We started out our Halloween festivities by carving pumpkins on Friday night. This was our first time EVER carving pumpkins and it ended up being pretty fun. Dodger wasn't too sure about the "guts" at first but ended up liking them at the end.







And what activity would be complete without a power tool? This actually worked really well, and made the task go a lot faster.


Our carving was cut short when we got a phone call telling us that Andy's uncle Bill had gone missing while out on a 4-wheeler ride and they needed help looking for him. So Andy set out along with all of his cousins and family members and about 15 search and rescue people to look. Steve and Taylor Francom ended up finding him at about 10:30 down in Recapture Canyon. He was OK. Thank Heavens for answered prayers!!!

We continued on with our Halloween festivities Saturday night by getting all dressed up and trick-or-treating.

I even talked Andy into dressing up. So He was a cow, Dodger a Tiger, Bronx a Lion, and I was the Zoo Keeper.


Dodger was so excited about all of his candy. As we would walk up to people's houses he would run and say "candy, candy, candy, candy!" It was so funny. Then he would try to go in and get more candy out of their bowl.


Dad had to check out the loot (to make sure it was safe of course).
