November 2018

BEARIZONA

November 1st was discount homeschool day at Bearizona. We loved seeing all the animals up close.

The birds of prey show was amazing. It was neat to have the birds swooping literally an inch or two over your head.

Brooklyn loved seeing all the animals, but she especially loved petting the baby goats.

Brooklyn loved the bus ride. She kept saying "Bumpy bump" because of the part in the Wheels on the Bus song.

HARRY POTTER PARTY

It was great seeing my friend and former roommate Jamie. We hadn't seen each other for over 8 years, and we are now in AZ together. She invited us to one of her awesome Harry Potter parties.

HIKING

Now that it has cooled down, we are loving the beautiful weather. For date night Jared and enjoyed a nice hike just 5 minutes from our house.

I was proud of Audrey when I took her hiking. She made it to the top without being carried. She kept repeating to herself, "I can do it! I think I can!" almost the whole way up.

NEW ROOM

Jared had a 2 week break from school so he started our remodel project. We are turning a formal dining area into a 4th bedroom. We really need another room in the house so we can sleep train Brooklyn.

Neal was nice enough to fly down from Idaho to help Jared for a week with all the framing and electrical work. We really appreciate all his hard work and expertise.

FAMILY FUN

I love how Audrey and Brooklyn are such good friends.

Maddy agreed to not have a birthday party (I didn't want to do one with the remodel going on) if she could go to the Crimes of Gindelwald movie that came out shortly after her birthday. The kids were excited about the cool reclining seats in the theater.
