Well, it is just about the end of October and we are still teaching and learning at school. It can definitely get exhausting making sure kids have their masks over their mouths and noses and are social distancing, but I will take it if that means we stay in school. Let's just hope this continues during the holidays and ski season. Fingers crossed.
Abigail had a successful fall soccer season and both girls have been doing swim lessons. We have spent quite a bit of time at the cabin this fall and ventured out for our last camping trip of the season. I will let the photos do the rest of the talking.
September 19th: We had the ladies frisbee golf tourney in September up at the cabin. It started out cold and rainy but ended up being a nice day.
Kim took 1st place in the senior division and Emma took 1st place in the junior division. (Note: They were the only participants in their divisions.)
Brighton is just spectacular in the fall.
We also love to play pickle ball while we are in Brighton.
We had our 1st snowfall in September. It didn't last long.
exploring beautiful Summit Park in the fall...
The girls have each been picking out and making dinner 1x/week. One night, Emma made a delicious chicken and ham pot pie.
Abigail made spaghetti and meatballs.
On another night, Emma made orange chicken. Yum! Yum!
September 25th: So proud of this girl--Emma received the principal's tie for the month of September. Each month, our principal awards 2 students one of his ties. These are 5th grade students who have gone above and beyond to show respect, organization, cooperation, and kindness at school.
September 26th: More time in Brighton--this time for the men's frisbee golf tournament.
September 27th: taking a hike to the fairy tree in Summit Park...
October 3rd: The girls made a little money selling golf balls while they were at Kim's condo (which is right on the golf course).
October 4th: Each year, people make scarecrows and they are displayed at the McPolin Barn. It is always fun to see the creativity. This year we biked from Kim's condo.
This is the reality of playing with the neighbors right now.
October 16th: The next morning, the trailer went to a local welder in Price, who fixed it so it could at least get back to the shop in Coalville. Meanwhile, Escapod had someone drive a different trailer down to us so we could continue on our trip. It was about a 3 hour trip so we just hung out in the Ramada Inn parking lot for few hours.
At about 2:00 p.m., we made the trailer exchange and were on our way once again.
The friends we were camping with just got a new puppy.
October 22nd: taking our fairy garden supplies down for the winter
October 23rd: Even though we did not have our pumpkin carving party this year (sniff, sniff), we still had to get pumpkins to carve.
walking through the haunted forest
October 24th: We have officially closed up the cabin until next summer (unless we decide to stay there this winter). The girls helped Kim sprinkle wildflower seed around.
This is our new addition to the cabin this year--the pantry. It looks so good!
Shot Ski: Each year, Park City and Breckenridge, CO battle it out for the world record for the most people taking a shot off a ski. This year, it was done all virtually due to the obvious circumstances.
