Pumpkins and Indians
Indian Days
Mike went with Rebecca to Indian days on a GATES field trip. Rebecca was so excited about this field trip. They had to leave extra early in the morning, before Seminary was over. Jon took care of Keith when Mike left.
The Indian demonstrations were fun to see, dancing, games, archery, food, etc., but they had to wait a long time between activities. They could shop for Indian crafts too. Rebecca liked the Indian fry bread, but she didn't think Indians used powdered sugar back in the day. She also bought a hair clip with pink feathers and purple beads, and a bracelet.
For Family Home Evening on Monday besides having a candy corn taste test, we carved pumpkins. Sister Brown gave us two big pumpkins to carve. Thank you!

Taste Test
One of our family's favorite shows is Good Eats on the food network. On a recent episode, Alton Brown showed how to make your own candy corn. We decided to try the recipe and have a taste test to see what everyone liked the best.

On 3 Dark and Pleasant Nights
Neighborhood trick-or-treat, ward trunk-or-treat and chili cook-off, and city trick-or-treat comprised Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. The weather was great. Cool enough to remind us that fall is here, and sweaters are needed. Our ant won 2nd place at work, and 1st place at the ward. The ward contest would be more impressive if he actually had some competition, but there was none for the adult male category. Our candy haul was the best ever. We are set between now and Easter. Little do the kids know that I siphoned off most of their candy for all the holidays between now and then. Wa-ha-ha-ha (imagine maniacal laughter). Don't worry, their buckets were returned 2/3rds full. I then asked for contributions to seminary, and they shared willingly. Thanks kids!
Happy Halloween!
