Camping Adventure in October

We decided as a family to enjoy one more short vacation before having to winterize the trailer. The girls get so excited to take a vacation and especially camping and cheer with excitement.

The weather started to get quite cold the first week of October and we didn't want to drive too far so we decided to go up to Granite Flatts campground up American Fork Canyon.

We have never been camping this late in the year and were in for a little adventure. We pretty much wore snow clothes the entire time and had lots of hot cocoa. It was beautiful to be up in the mountains with the changing leaves despite the cold. We went down to the lake but the wind made it bitter cold and we didn't last long. At night it ended  up being only 11 degrees and of course our batteries for our trailer weren't working so we couldn't run the heater. Jeff drove down the canyon to buy some new ones so we didn't freeze. It was a little pricey trip! We discovered that the fridge and the radio were draining the battery.

The next day we met with my mom and dad who brought up the 4-wheelers so we could go on a ride that day. It was fun to ride around the pretty gold, red and green leaves and learn more about the ghost town in Mineral Basin of Forest City.

Florida Georgia Line

In September I planned a girls night to see Florida Georgia Line at Usana. Dan and Shay and Morgan Wallen opened too and were great!

September

We normally stay home for Labor day but this year we still wanted to do a few more trips so we headed to Hatch to close the cabin down. 

We spent some time fishing at Panguitch Lake

Of course we had to get treats on our long drive and Brynnley loved her chocolate donut and Aubrie chose ice cream.

Brynnley got a haircut right in time to start Pre-School at Lotsa Tots with Ms Autumn

To celebrate Aubrie's 7th birthday she chose to eat at Olive Garden for dinner

This girl loves playing soccer and being competitive, even if it was 90 degrees or 30 degrees outside.

Brynnley loves getting all her stuffed animals together so they can get their hair done and makeup on.

Shannon got a new kitten this month and the girls enjoyed playing with her and her crazy kitten energy.

Happy 7th Birthday Aubrie

Aubrie turned 7 years old this year on September 2nd while we were coming home from the Cabin. 

The week before her real birthday, she wanted to have a friend party that was LOL doll themed at the splash pad. She had about 10 kids attend and had a blast being the center of attention, playing in the water, eating cake and pizza, and opening presents with her friends. 

The friends she invited were mostly from Lotsa Tots and included: Gabe, Harrison, Brody and Taylor Bunker, Izzie, Kaia, Kendra, Allie and Ezra Bush and Addie and Harper as well as Brynnley.
She got spoiled with tons of LOL toys and other fun things.

We celebrated Aubrie's real birthday at the Cabin in Hatch. Grandma Susie made a fun LOL birthday complete with a cake and presents.
