Weekend Get-Away

 Here is a picture of half the kids at Amanda's party. I'm not even exaggerating.  See how funny that they are hanging out in the unfinished basement. At least we didn't worry about them destroying anything!
Below is Amanda, Spiderman, Ally and Erynn at the Elliott's amazing Halloween house!

 We left the next morning for St. George.  The kids had Friday off of school, so away we ran!  I have always wanted to take the girls to see Thriller by Odyssey Dance Company at Tuachan. It just happened to be the last night on Friday.  And then, Saturday night was a cover band of the Beatles, The Fab Four. Brandon LOVES the Beatles, so Mike & Brandon went to that concert on Saturday!

Mike laughed that Brandon was the youngest one there and he was the second youngest!  They had a great time!  A quick visit to see Aunt Kay and Uncle Bud.  Bud crashed on his bike again at the first of October and broke his femur up high. They had to work on his hip as well as the leg.  He's a tough guy!

The girls have always wanted to stop at these baseball fields where High School Musical 2 was filmed. We had a beautiful day on the way back from Ivins and decided to make their dreams come true!

 They thought about jumping the fence, but then we found an open field. Just one. All others were locked up tight!

 Brandon wanted to be in the pictures and the girls were being mean to him.....

 I'm so in love with all the amazing colors.  


 Amanda did edit on the one below...it's pretty cool.  She is taking photography at school this year and is getting quite good!
We got home on Sunday and had family pictures taken by Kirstan Johnson.  These are just a few that Amanda got loaded onto the computer. I'm having a hard time loading the rest from the cd she gave me.


 Kirstan had to come back the next week and take some more of Amanda. I think she only had a couple.  The place on Sunday where we were was packed with people getting family pictures taken.  It threw Kirstan off  :)


Here's a random picture of my rainbow piano!  I was teaching one afternoon and a rainbow appeared!  Now that the sun has moved to winter mode, it sets while I'm teaching and hits my Grandma Gib's clock that I have in that room.  Kind of cool!
