Oh my goodness, we had such a fun Family Home Evening last night! (Although technically, we weren't home. It was a fun "Family American West Heritage Center Evening!") James, Bethany and I, along with my family, went to the American West Heritage Center in Wellsville to experience the true fall feeling. We love fall! We had a blast and we definitely recommend going! We started out with a ride in a horse-drawn wagon (a big hit with horsey-lover Bethany), shown below with James:
Next, we let Bethany and Ruby run around in the straw maze. Bethany especially loved taking handfuls of straw and throwing them all about. (I must say, Daddy and his allergies were a good sport about this.)
We then took some time to look at all of the pretty lights ("Ligh! Ligh!") and take some crazy pictures. Cute, huh?
"Are you achin', fer some bacon? You can be a big pig too, Oi!" Next we hit the corn maze, which was an a"maze"ingly good time. (Pardon the pun, just my "Gene genes" coming out.) Bethany loved it. She wanted to run ahead the entire way, pell mell. If we picked her up, she'd yell, "Down! Down!" and make her whole body go limp. So we let her run her little heart out. It was so cute--after she heard us say, "This way" and "That way" a couple of times, she picked right up on that and yelled "Way! Way!" the entire time she ran through the maze. She ran practically the whole hour or so we were in there! "Way! Way!" all the way!
Of course, we had to stop and see all of the "puh-bahs" in the area. Bethany is still a big fan of the pumpkins!
All in all, a very good time! Happy fall, y'all, from our family to yours! We wish you lots of hot chocolate, warm sweaters, fuzzy socks, pumpkin guts, crunchy leaves, crisp air, football games, crackling fires, tricks-n-treats and all of the other joys of our favorite season!

How fun! How long is it going on? Does it last all fall? How much does it cost? -Ha ha! Am I asking enough questions for you? Nevermind, I guess I can just ask you tomorrow when I see you!
Hi Jenny, I don't know if you remember who I am. Melissa & Derek Thomson in your old ward. We used to live two houses from Buzzy & Karina and across from Felts. Just wanted to say hello. I found your blog off of Laura Lovell's. I heard that you guys had adopted a little girl a while back ago. Bethany is so beautiful! I am so happy for you guys. How are you guys doing? What have you been up to? We've been living in Rexburg, Idaho for almost two years and have two little squirts with another on the way in Feb. We really have grown to like it up here. Hope you are doing well. My e-mail is melliethomson@gmail.com
