We have been enjoying a beautiful fall season. We manage to get out geo-caching some, we watching the BSU football games - usually with Travis and his family, and have watched several of the soccer games that Wendy's kids play in. This past weekend, Heidi and Will came to our valley, where Heidi attended the convention for dental workers. Will enjoyed fishing on the Boise River while Heidi was in classes. We didn't get to see them as much as we'd like, but we did get out to dinner with them one night, and we all had dinner with Wendy and her family another night.
Here's Marissa, on a visit to our house on October 3rd. We had lots of fun playing with her and watching her smile. She's still tiny but we can tell she is growing. What a joy she is in our lives.
Don and Carol took a day off work on October 6th and went to the hills for a load of firewood. Don finds that if we only get enough wood to fill the back of the truck, he can manage it by himself. On this particular trip, we acquired a dog. The dog was wandering around on the road near Ice Springs. We headed up another road from there, and it followed us. The dog stayed close to Don when he was cutting the wood, and jumped up on the tailgate whenever we would go from one spot to another. He had a collar but no tags. We had to leave him behind when we headed for home, though, as we had to close the tailgate, and there was nowhere else for him to ride. Besides, we were in hopes the owners would return for him.
Carol went to Salt Lake last week for the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Convention. She stayed with our friends, the Cheneys, who we met in California in 1972. (They've now moved to Riverton, UT.) This is the view of their neighbor's Pumpkin Patch from the back deck of the Cheney's home. The neighbors grow big fields of pumpkins, and there were flocks of people there picking out their pumpkins. Carol even went over and got a wheel-barrow full of pumpkins to bring home.
It was a beautiful sight and so fun to see all the families enjoying the outing together. They have a corn maze for the children, and also offer a free wagon ride around the perimeter of the patch. What a great family activity!

That's pretty funny that the dog followed you around.
