October Fun Part 2
After our fun day at Eckert's (and after the kids napped) we went to the ward Trunk or Treat activity. Our costumes were very traditional this year. Sterling was very good at ooo-ing like a ghost. Sheri loves lollipops. Eve was missing a top front tooth and it was perfect with her costume.
Saturday, Grandma spent a lot of time with the kids helping them carve pumpkins. We had a nice day at home to catch up on things and enjoy each other. Matt and his dad went to ward social for the guys called Man-richment. It was grilling heaven and there were lots of fun games etc. In the evening we all enjoyed toasted pumpkin seeds and a new recipe I made that bakes in a pumpkin and then you eat it all together. We were sad to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa Smith. We sure are lucky to have visits from them from time to time!

October Fun Part 1
In October we were very happy to have Matt's parents come to visit. On the day they arrived we took them out for a boat ride. It was a challenge since the water was low but we enjoyed it, especially the autumn colors on the bluffs.
The next day we went to St. Louis, the Arch and the Museum for Expansion of the West. It was a beautiful day. I was able to understand the history of Lewis and Clark better and appreciate those who settled the country in its early period. The view from the arch was, of course, very impressive. Here is a pic of us all crowded into the car that took us to the top.

Here are the kids at the Museum. Eve earned her Jr Ranger badge with help from Grandpa!
Here we are leaving the arch and museum.
We finished the afternoon with the most relaxing, beautiful picnic at Forest Park.
Later in the evening, Matt and his parents took the kids to a corn maze with other fun activities. I went to Eve's parent/teacher conference. I received all positive feedback. Yay!
The next day we went to Eckerts, a apple orchard/ pumpkin patch. We loved all the activities, and the apples were so aromatic!
What a wonderful day!
