The Jackson's: October 2009

Friday, October 30, 2009

Saturday October 24th we spent the afternoon at Gardner Villiage with my parents. Gardner Villiage is a really fun place to visit around Halloween time. It's decorated with 1,000's of pumpkins and witches everywhere! There are also a lot of cute and fun shops. We had a great time wandering the spooky streets of the villiage!

Beware: PICTURE OVERLOAD!

{I couldn't believe how many ladies were dressed up like witches! I felt a little left out!}

{It was pretty CHILLY so we bundled Max up. I LOVE his hat..he lookes like a little Scandinavian boy!}

{Max LOVES his Grandpa!}

{What CUTE Grandparents!}

{Max was mesmerized by the geese.}

{Like I said there were WITCHES everywhere...here are a few of my favs:}

{This one was really SCARY! It doesn't look like it from the picture, but it was! The legs moved so the witch was pedalling the bike which made it look unbelievably REAL! CREEEEPY!!!}

It was a GREAT way to get us all in the mood for HALLOWEEN!!!

UTAH vs. UNLV

VS.

October 17th we went to LAS VEGAS with several of my Uncles, Aunts & Cousins {23 of us!} to the UTAH vs. UNLV football game in Las Vegas. We had a BLAST! We left early Saturday morning and picked up Kenneth & Nikki in St. Geroge. We had lunch in Mesquite and then met up with my family at a park in Henderson, close to where my cousin Dan & his wife Jordan live. We had a few hours before the game started so we played games & relaxed. The weather was WONDERFUL, it felt like summer again! It was FUN to spend time with some of my family that I don't get to see very often.

The game was AWESOME! We had the best seats that were really close to the game.

Of course the Utes WON & we were all happy to have been there!

We got back to St. George at about 2:30am! Ken & Nikki are so NICE to always let us stay with them...we LOVE visiting them!!! We spent Sunday with Ken & Nikki and drove back home late Sunday night. Even though it was a super short trip, it was TONS of FUN!

{Max looked so cute in his UTAH sweatshirt!}

Each October we go to a local pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. We always have such a fun time walking through the patch searching for just the right ones! Here are the 3 pumpkins that we chose this year!
