Fall Fun in Boise...

Sunday was a beautiful day in the City of Trees. The sun was out, the air was cool and the leaves are changing. We woke up late this morning and I made a big breakfast for everyone. After our tummies were full and the dishes were done I thought it looked like a perfect day to go to the pumpkin patch and get our pumpkins. We drove around following sign after sign to find one after another - closed. As we were driving to the last one, Mikayla informs us that it's her best day ever. I asked her why and she said because we are going to the pumpkin patch. Oh - the pressure!! (FYI for those who don't know our girls - we hear "this is the best day ever" several times a week- what a great outlook they have on life!)

Anyway, since we didn't find anything we ended up going to the store and we bought a bunch of gourds to take home for an art project. Once we got home I gave everyone a paper bag and off we went on a nature walk around our house to collect items that we thought we could use to use for decorations.

After about 45 minutes the "gourd people" were born and I am now proudly displaying them in our house. So, it still ended up being a great day for everyone.

To top the day off we ended our day with Mike's dad at our house watching the BSU game and having a great dinner. Ben - you really missed out! Nobody could even taste the onions so maybe you would have been okay. Oh and BSU smoked New Mexico!!
