The festivities began when we went on a walk to enjoy the beautiful weather and fall colors!
Part of our busyness has consisted of volunteering with a 15-year old boy through a BYU service program called IMPACT. He is really into reptiles, particularly snakes. The first time we went and visited him, he took his huge 100-pound snake out of its cage and allowed it to wander throughout the living room--right by me and Colby! Luckily, we survived; but it was terrifying, nonetheless. We had the opportunity of going to an IMPACT Halloween party with him this past week. While there, we carved pumpkins and he and Colby participated in a doughnut eating contest (Colby lost).
It was the 15-year-old's idea to make our pumpkin look like this.
On Halloween, we spent the evening with our good friends Tyler and Lindy. We started it off by getting 50 cent corn dogs at Sonic and then we went on a "Halloween Cruise." The cruise consisted of a boat ride that took us partway down the Provo river while the "captain" told us scary stories. We were also attacked by a pirate who turned out to be very nice--he gave us candy. The cruise was a fun and unique way to spend our Halloween. Afterwards, we went and watched a scary movie. It turned out to be a great evening.
The river was lined with really cool carved pumpkins. Oh, and the flash of the camera was blinding.
This weekend we also went ice skating with Tyler and Lindy. It was our first time going since Colby proposed to me last December! We have so many ice skating memories including our first date and the proposal.
That about does it for our fun week. Oh, except one more thing. We bought plane tickets for the BYU vs. Notre Dame game! I think it's kind of a crazy thing to do, but there's nothing that will stop Colby from going to as many BYU football games as possible.
