Fossil Rim


 
A few weeks ago we took a family field trip during the week to Fossil Rim - a wildlife center where over 1,000 animals are free to roam. 

 The animals come right up to your car to be fed - it was amazing.  




We had such a great time and made some lifelong animal friends!











We made so many fun memories there and can't wait to go back again!



The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.
- Isaiah 40:8

Skating with Dad

Over the past year Chris has taken Grace ice skating a few times. This past weekend Emma decided that she too wanted to skate. 

 


I am confident that Chris should be nominated - and would win - Dad of the Year for this afternoon.  His patience skating around in circles with two squealing and squirmy girls for the afternoon in a freezing rink should clinch his win!


So, I gladly watched from the sidelines and snapped a few (very blurry) pics of their special afternoon together!
 



Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.
His love endures forever.

- Psalm 136:1

Halloween Fun



The weekend before Halloween, our community had a Monster Mile - characters and their helpers were lined up for a mile handing out candy to all of the kids. 




The girls loved it and Emma declared that it was better than trick or treating!

 

The night before Halloween Chris and the girls carved our giant pumpkin - as you can see, Emma isn't a big fan of the inside of a pumpkin!
 


We hope you all had a wonderfully fun and safe Halloween!


Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
- Hebrews 13:8
