Hee Haw Farms

For our Family Home Evening, we got our free annual tickets (Thanks Axiom Financial) to HeeHaw Farms in Pleasant Grove. The girls were so excited to see all the animals, specially when they got to touch them. Taylor's favorite part was when Brandon caught a small pig, picked him up, and then watched the pig poop all down his jacket!

The girls got to ride a pony, slide down a huge slide, take a train ride through the corn maze, do a hay ride where kids in costumes throw candy at you, go through a fun blown-up maze that was "haunted", and pick out a pumpkin to keep. Oh yeah, we also got some yummy doughnuts and hot chocolate. It was such a fun night and the girls just loved it.

**NOTICE THE GIRL TEXTING WHILE SHE IS IN CHARGE OF TAKING TAYLOR ON THE PONY RIDE**--What did Sister Dalton say, "Ever TEXTING and never coming to the knowledge of the truth!"

This is just a very short video of Taylor kind of chasing the pig. We just thought it was funny to hear the pig squeel like it did! You should have heard it when Brandon picked it up...scary!

Hike to Stewart Falls

A Tie-Dyed Family Home Evening

On Monday, we did a FHE lesson on loving all people even if they are different then us. We couldn't think of a better (messier too!) activity than making tie-dyed clothes (nothing ever turns out the same). We had a great time making them but both Brandon and I ended up with stained hands...I guess you really should use gloves!


Taylor dress is on far left, then Callie's onesie, and then Tina and Brandon's t-shirts. We'll have to see if you will ever see us in public wearing them!

Callie wasn't really into the tie-dying, but she really loved the swiss cake rolls we had for dessert!
