My Utah Trip

Sorry, it's taken me so long to post about this, but I was able to visit Emily and our other dear family in Utah for a weekend at the beginning of the month. Here are a few pictures from the trip:

As you can see, I got my hair highlighted while I was there. Good times.

So what's up? Anyway, here are my halloween pics. Enjoy! ^-^

The play went well, and I will eventually post pics of that too...

Rainbow Brite was such a good time. I was the hit at work...because no one else dressed up at my office. I just wish someone had a party last night (my friends did them all on the weekend while I had a migraine). I hope everyone had a freaky-fun Halloween night.

Three Parties in one night

On Friday, October 27, Sam and Dad attended three Halloween parties in one day. What a busy time it was and tiring.


Our work had a Halloween party for our children. The families toured our building and we passed out candy to them. This old codger watched. Sam was there.


















After work, this old codger and Sam went to a Halloween party at Church. The youth of our church had prepared a very special party. They had many games to play. The activity area had fog all over. (Note: the YM president disconnected the fire alarm.) Some brough cakes, brownies and treats. Also, you would win a treat by playing a game. One game was to stick a hand down a bag and feel some spaghetti; another, was three-card monty; another, a pinata and many more.









At school, Sam saw many of his school mates. The school opened the gym and stage area for playing. There was jar guessing. That is guessing the number of bean or items in a jar. This game had sever jars for quessing. At 8:00 PM, the school had a raffle.
Each student received a raffle ticket when he entered. Sam was dissappointed when he received a rocket football for his prize. There were so many other prizes that he wanted and the teacher would not allow exchanges. Such a sad time. It was also a windy, rainy night.

Here are pictures from my Friday night barn dance as well as a Saturday night party. Russ and I made a pretty convincing Anakin and Padme, if I do say so myself! Click on the picture to see the rest of the photos.
