Pumpkin Patch

Corn maze

Yesterday we decided to vist Grand Junction, Colorado. it is a small city about 2.5 hours from us. it is the closest mall\shopping pretty much. The guy who I knew from Ricks and BYU and Scott knew through friends, also lives there. He actually brought Scott over to my apartment on night and that is how we met the second time. Anyways, this guy, jackson actually ended up marrying a friend of Scott's cousins who grew up in another small town. Anyways...lots of connections, but we haven't seen them for years.
Whitney with her pumpkin. She thinks it tastes delicious.
So we went to the mall and I was able to get outfits for our upcoming family pictures. Shopping online was too difficult. We looked around, and then headed over to visit. They have kids almost the same age as ours, so lots of new toys to play with. They especially loved the pygmy hamsters they had. Isabel managed to let one loose while no one was looking. fun. we caught it. They were lightning fast.
After that we headed to the pumpkin patch. Thank goodness for the internet and google, I already knew about it, and where it was. We had a good time playing in the corn maze. They had a small kids' maze and now Isabel wants one in the back yard.
We ate at a restaurant called "Boston's Pizza" which looked oddly like another restaurant from Canada. If only they would get some Tim Horton's out west, I would be happy.To top off the trip we were able to head to PetsMart and get Flipper #2, or Ariel, as sara calls him. He's a girl, according to her. So we'll see how long this little betta lasts. isabel hugs the tank. she needs something to cuddle but Dad still vetoes. We'll see in the spring.

You went! Awesome, and thanks for putting your visit on the blog. what happy faces. Loved the hamster story...there's always something! Great that you could visit with old friends. Yes, Boston's...it's the name they used when the Edmonton-based company expanded into the US. Usually happens the other way around, with US companies opening operations into Canada. You could start a Timmy's franchise. You might have to name it for an American hockey hero from the sixty's though. I'm glad you know your way around GJ now, for Dec. 22. Love you all.
