October Happenings

Well here we are, both graduated from college and looking to the future. Tori is in her first year of Medical School here at the U and studies like mad. She is currently taking Anatomy, Histology, Embryology and Psychiatry. It sometimes seems difficult to make the time to have some fun but we do get out and play ultimate frisbee every Wednesday with some of our friends. We went to see Romeo and Juliet (Opera) at the Capital Theater two days ago and it was a lot of fun. We are also regulars at the local dollar theater (tight waud tuesday is our night). Who can beat 1 dollar movies? We also had a pumpkin carving picnic with our ultimate frisbee friends. Here is a picture of Tori's pumpkin, she is good with a knife.
Picking grapes and making homemade grape juice is a family tradition. Here is a picture of my parents and I picking this years grapes. Tori also decided to give me my annual flu shot. I must say, I was VERY BRAVE as you can see. This was Tori's first time giving a shot.

Lake Powell

Tori and Rosie baking in the sun on the "too cool". Tori and I tried sleeping on it one night, with life jackets. Needless to say it wasn't our best night sleep.





Lake Powell was a fun trip with Tori's Family. We even got to go fishing.

Fixing Up The Old Cabin

We spent the full month of July fixing up the old cabin. Tori and I Started with the tongue and groove then worked on the floors, windows, stain, varnish etc... Lynn and Linda's family was a great help with the stain and Dad helped out with the varnish, walls, windows and flooring. Brian's family helped with the window and carpet. Together we all got a lot done. We started putting hard wood flooring (pergo) downstairs but we ran out of steam. We will finish it all next year.
We also did our fair share of fishing since we both have our wyoming fishing licenses. We managed to fish for a few hours up the Grey's River after working hard on the cabin each day.

Moab

Moab was hot but fun as usual. We went with Joe and Heidi, our two friends from school. We camped along the banks of the Colorado River and had a blast.

San Diego

Sea World was a hit with the Kids (mostly Tori). I guess somehow you never outgrow the kid in you. Shamu was a lot of fun and we even all sat in the "SPLASH ZONE" for the second performance. The Lost City of Atlantis ride was great, we couldnt get enough of it.
San Diego was fun. We went to Tori's old beach house and played in the waves Weston one of our nephews and Aubrey one of our Nieces.
