Fall Break '09

Last week was fall break for the kids. We managed to keep pretty busy with the kids and I think they had a good time.

The last half of the week, we went up to the cabin. Here are the girls playing outside.

On Sunday afternoon, we took a little drive to the Snowflake Temple.

Here is CK and Sam.

Dave with the boys... he was daring the boys to eat a cricket from the fountain, I think.

During the first half of the week, we went out to visit out good friends, the Turley's in the eastern part of the state. Just a little note... our temple was announced the same time as theirs was. Here is a picture of our temple site:

... and here is theirs:

Admittedly, I'm just a little jealous that it has come so far, but really I'm mostly, I'm happy for them. After all, we still have a temple 30 min away, whereas they have to drive almost 3 hours.

One of the reasons we always have so much fun with these guys is that they have 5 kids that are same genders almost the exact ages as ours. The only "big" difference is around the twins. They have a daughter 3 mo. older and then a son 14 mo. younger than the twins. Still, they are all great friends. (Our kids match up so good, in fact, that with our last 2 pregnancies, Debbie and I announced our pregnancies to each other on the same day!)

While we were there, we drove up a canyon to have a picnic. It was a gorgeous spot and the kids had a blast.

Here is D with his best friend Shawn.

L and Savanna, and CK with Keira.
