October

 Camping at Mormon Lake, taking an ice cream break.
 Rain Gutter Regatta Ice Cream
Oh my gosh! Is time time flying by? Or what! Sniff. Sniff. So a little catch up for October.

We started out the month with camping up Flagstaff. We wanted to go somewhere where it would actually feel like fall. It was so fun. We went to Mormon Lake and had ice cream, said hello to the buffalo's, hiked, had a campfire and even roasted smores! It was freezing at night. We skipped fall and experienced winter. It was a little odd being cold after being soooo hot for so long. We relished the feeling and bundled and cuddled up!

Hayden had his first rain gutter regatta in cub scouts. All the boys made boats similar to the pine wood derby and then they race them in actual rain gutters by blowing on the sails. Its always a fun event. The boys favorite part of the evening it when they empty the rain gutters and we fill them back up with ice cream and toppings! and let the boys and siblings go crazy. We also made a trip to the Fire Station with our scout den and friends from another troop.

Both of the boys started flag football in September. We have practice or a game every day except Friday and Sunday. Its so fun. We love being at the park and hanging out. Its been a great season so far. Ethan and Hayden are both on good teams and have been winning every game!

The Wild Wild West







Camping in the wild west was a new experience for us. Instead of worrying about poison oak we were worried about cactai! We crashed John's birthday camping trip to Superstition mountain on Friday. We had a great time doing the camping thing. S'mores, camp fire and stories (thanks to Jack!) an amazing dutch oven breakfast (thanks to John). Hayden made friends with jack's cousins and had a blast playing in the wash. It was a freezing night, and we were all dressed in several layers, but it still didn't feel like enough! On our way home we stopped at the little mining town and Shawn took the boys on a mining tour. It was sooooo fun camping in the wild west! Thanks florez fam for letting us crash your party!
