Staheli Farm

Last weekend Brady's parents and his sister came down for a visit. We had a lot of shopping, eating, and they enjoyed the plays out at Tuacahn. Ellie loved having her grandparents here to read her stories and play with her.
When I was in Vegas a few weeks ago my brother in law brought over some great outdoor toys for the kids that he said he got at garage sells. So I thought maybe we should give it a try and for the past few Saturdays we have gone garage selling and last weekend it finally payed off. Before we have found a bike or two and some other odds and ends, but Saturday we hit the jackpot with a great jungle gym and outdoor house for Ellie. She is not to sure about them yet, but they are growing on her.For family home evening we went out to the farm with our friends the Brinkerhoffs. The kids had so much fun petting the animals and braving the slide. We also took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch (which lacked a lot of pumpkins) and went through the little corn maze. Ellie loved every minute and thought she was such a big girl playing with Halle and Lauryn. On our way back to the car we stopped to let them ride the swings. We had such a blast and loved hanging out with our friends.
Today our ward had the annual play date Halloween party. Ellie loved wearing her costume and actually kept it on the entire party. She loved dancing to the monster mash during the cake walk and playing with the dozens of balloons. We have had a lot of fun the past few weeks and can't wait for the REAL Halloween to come!!!
