Freeze Fall Picnic
I was totally bummed that I didn't get the opportunity to celebrate National Toasted Marshmallow Day this year. It happened to fall on a night when Casey was working & I wasn't about to tackle loading up my children with roasting sticks & then head off to start a fire. That would've been a diaster just waiting to happen!
On a whim one Sunday in September I called Casey's family (except for Shelby...he lives in Price & I don't think he would've made the drive for a hot dog & mallow) and we headed off to Second Dam for a little dinner. It happened to be the 20 year aniversary of Mona's dad's death. It wasn't a celebration...but a little get together for fall & for his memory. Mona has said that her dad loved watching the leaves fall in to the river this time of year. I can't imagine losing a parent at this stage in life. It would be very difficult. I have a lump in my throat just typing this! (I'm a pansy)
Caleb LOVES his cousins Logan & Nathanael. I think he might even drive them a bit crazy because he follows them everywhere and talks & talks & talks their ears off. It was a beautiful fall evening. The kids were all well behaved & my mallow was fabulous.

You and your mallows. I love the girls jeans!! You look skinny in these pics :)
She does look skinny, I was thinking the exact same thing when I was looking. You do a good job of painting a picture, I could feel the fall weather and taste the mallows.
You do look skinny. Great minds think alike. You are such a wimp. I don't know why you couldn't have managed NTMD on you own. ;)
I too thought you look skinny. Even before I read the comments. Cute pictures. That's a good family pic of you guys. You could have roasted mini mallows with a toothpick and a candle.
You always do such fun things. Those kiddos are lucky to have you as their mommy!
