We had a short but fun visit from John, Sara, Aubrey and Bethany!
Crafts were a hit:
Games were a hit too!
Apple Hill and shopping at the craft stores there was popular!
Getting there early was also a win.
This was the line for donuts when we left:
Visiting the Perrys was a great time!
We have been enjoying some BYU football games this season!
The Melanchuks discovered how popular the
BYU-Utah game can become and decided to show their true colors!
Sarah and Elizabeth were at that game and joined
a huge amount of fans on the field at the end.
Grandpa has been a loyal fan for a loooong time!
He still wears his "vintage" BYU sweatshirt
which was given to him by Amanda and MaryAnn
when they were students.
Aubrey loves being in the jazz band at school.
Here she is performing a solo in her recent concert.
Bethany was appointed Editor-in-Chief of her school's online "newspaper."
Nathaniel tried out for the school play.
Penny was called to be the ward choir director
which will include the Christmas program.
Amelia was excited about the recent snowfall in Rexburg and called her Mom.
(Interesting, I did that as well in 1968!)
Sister Melanchuk was transferred to the mountainous region of the Dominican Republic to the town of Constanza.
This map shows approximately where she is.
She has a wonderful companion, Hna Lucas, from Guatemala.
Where the branch meets for church:
We made another trip to Apple Hill and saw these beautiful colors.
Grandpa made Apple Bread from some of the apples we got.
We hosted our Family Home Evening group with treats from Apple Hill
and did a Reader's Theater melodrama which everyone enjoyed.
As part of his major, Peter dejays once a week at KBTL 88.1 The Grizz.
Here he is in action!
Thanks to an app, Grandpa and I can tune in and listen to the Jello Dragon!
Darryl finally got one of their bothersome trees down,
and had some professionals get the other one.
Trunk or Treat and Halloween time!
Brian and MaryAnn as Chips and Salsa
Brian was one of three judges of the Chili contest.
David as the Phantom of the Opera...
...helped them decide on a theme for their trunk!
Halloween night at the Perrys:
They had 18 trick or treaters. They tried something they had heard of: Offer a potato instead of candy. It was an exact split. From MaryAnn: "9 picked candy and 9 picked potato. The potato kids all thought it was pretty exciting, and the other people thought it was weird!"
The M & M's:
Penny and her friend, Bailey, are Mabel and Dipper
from the TV show, Gravity Falls.
From Facebook: Happy Halloween from your favorite condiments!
(Suzie works at the elementary school.)
Bethany dressed up as Link from the Legend of Zelda
They gave out candy outside with a fire to keep them warm
and watching the Blue Jays in the World Series!
After Camille handed out all of their candy, she decorated her Christmas tree.
They listened to Christmas music while they handed out the candy!
Nathaniel dressed up as Darth Vadar:
He went trick or treating with his friend, Warren, who is a deacon in their ward and in Nathaniel's school class. He was a wolf from the movie "Bad Guys."
And how did we celebrate Halloween?
We had Franks in Steins!
