Our Georgia Starr!!

Cornbelly's with The Bennetts!! 11/5/16

For the 2nd year now, we met Erin, Jack, & Owen at Cornbelly's in Salt Lake City for the a fun day at the corn maze. This place is so wonderful and full of fun activities for the kids to do. The kids zip lined, shot an apple out of a canon, shot paintballs, had snow cones, cotton candy, candy apples, went through haunted houses, and played a lot!! We went out to dinner at The Pie for dinner and then all the kids swam at our hotel. We always have such a good time when we get together. Ms. Georgia dressed up as a sheep. She was not too fond of her costume!! She was so tired at the end of the night that she fell asleep while we were playing with her.

Happy Halloween!!

We had a pretty uneventful Halloween. It was warmer than usual for this time of year. Scotlyn was Spiderman, Parker was a Antman, and Cooper was Darth Mahl. We had a great time at our school's carnival. Cooper enjoyed the bobbing for apples the best. My dad decorated his pumpkins for the kids; which they loved to show off at their school.

One Big Donut!!

We decided to get donuts for breakfast one morning. The boys noticed this huge donut sitting in the case. I told them that they could get it but would have to share and they agreed. It was one yummy donut!!!

Comic Con!!

Matt and I took the boys to Comic Con in Salt Lake City on Friday, September 1. None of us had ever been and decided that since it was so close, we'd give it a try. We also knew that Danny Trejo, who is an actor, was going to be there. We had found out a few years back that he and my biological father were half brothers. The boys thought it was a lot of fun. This is definitely for die hard comic book fans; which we are not. We did get to meet Danny. He, of course, knew my dad and gave me a hug and took a picture. I'm sure he thought I was some stranger who maybe was stalking him. We didn't get a chance to visit hardly at all because he was so busy and it's kind of hard to "catch up" with someone after almost 40 years of not knowing each other. The boys think that it is really cool that he is technically their half uncle.
