FAMILY FUN AT HALLOWEEN

Dear Family,

We had a busy weekend with Rick and Gemina's visit and many get togethers,  Saturday, Doug and I went to Farmington to watch Rebecca in her La Cross game. She did well and scored the first goal and her team won.  Did not quite understand the game as it was the first one I had seen but there were a bunch of little gitsl with sticks raised high and screaming at each other. But it was fun!

After that, Doug and I made our way to the Bountiful Lyons Club shooting range and sighted in a couple of hunting rifles.  Then it was home.. Mom dropped me off at the University of Utah football game and picked up Rick and Gemina.  Rick joined me in the box and watched the game.  They stayed at Cheryl's so we went there, stayed late, watched a movie.

Sunday was church and then a get together at Paul and Cheryls.  Gemina and Cheryl prepared a healthy meal.     Gemina prepared a hearty soup in California, froze it and brought it up on the plane in addition to a salad.  Mike and Rayanne, Emily and John, Doug and Kristina, and Cathy and Pete and all the kids came for a great visit.  Here is Cathy, Rayanne, Emily and Cheryl enjoying the goodies.

Once fed, all the cousins break up into age groups, the little kids get into the toy room, the teen age boys shoot a few hoops in the basement and the teenage girls get into Madeline's bed and just talk.  Here is Madeline B., Natalie H. and Madeline H. 

The  trick of climbing into bed was not limited to the teenagers.  With the main TV screen out, we had to go to Cheryl's bedroom to watch a movie.   

Here is Mom, Gemina, little Johnny, Rick on the Droid smartphone and Paul Jr. watching Midway.  Cheryl kicked everyone out at 10 PM.  Well it was really fun and Mom says her bed is comfortable.


The next night was Halloween and the family everywhere had a great time.

The next night was Halloween.  I do not have pictures ow what all the family was doing but here is a sampler.  Here is Al and her kids.  They went to Bloomfield Hills and hit our old neighborhood on Kingsgateway. The Breer's emptied all their candy into the kids bags!  All used to start at the Breer's and then work their way to the end of the block, then put on sheets and work their way back up the street.  It was most effecient and they always got the most.

Here is Becca but no matter what she puts on, she will never look like a witch.

Here is Libby, Mary Claire, Madeline and Loren as a 

Popcorn box.  Here they are in front of the house.

Here is Cheryl's gang in front of the house. It was a ;lot of fun.

Mom and I met the kids at the door as ourselves and that was scary enough 

Alles Gute und alles Liebe, 

Dad and Mom
