Fun Family Visits: Kristi

You thought I was kidding about a lot of visits this fall, didn't you. Well, it was awesome. Kristi, Kelly and Chase came for Halloween.

Fortunately, I had recently switched to DirecTV, so I finally can watch BYU football on the Mountain channel. I haven't been able to watch football ever since some genius decided it would be a good idea to broadcast mountain west football on a channel no one gets. But I digress. It is germane that I discuss the acquisition of the mountain channel (DirecTV channel 616), because there was no way that Kelly was going to come down unless we had it ;). The game was really exciting and it was sweet for me to have the expert on the couch to answer all my questions. Thanks, Kelly!



We went to the zoo, which is always a good time. It was really hot that day and everyone was looking for some shade. So we hit the stingray exhibit( I apologize to any marine biologists out there if these are not stingrays, maybe they are some other kind of ray). It was really neat, and we all got to pet and feed the rays. There were also some sort of bottom feeding sharks in there and some other icky creatures. The kids loved it.
The funnest part was, of course, Halloween. Halloween is really fun here because it's not freezing so people can go outside and par-tay. The kids can also show off their costumes, because they don't have to wear coats. Most people get some friends and neighbors and sit in their driveways and chow as the kids go by. We went trick-or-treating for a hour or so until the kids were done, then just sat around and talked. It was really fun. I'll post some more Halloween pictures and details in another post, because this one has too many pictures already.

Thanks for coming Kelly, Kristi and Buzz Lightyear!
