Grandpa and Grandma G are on a Mediterranean Cruise as we speak. Lucky! They left a week ago, and will be gone another week. Because Grandma likes to plan way ahead, and it takes her 2 weeks to pack,(exaggerating) she thought she better have her party the very first weekend of October so she would have some time. It worked out great because it was also General Conference weekend and we LOVE being at the cabin for that. We went up Saturday morning, watched/listened to conference, and did all of the usual cabin activities:
We also emptied out the crawl space under the old cabin. We found treasures! Among other random things, there was enough food storage to last a loooong time. Problem is, how old is it and how long does it last? My parents decided to get rid of all of it. Except, there was an old wheat grinder that belonged to my Grandma G and I was stoked to use it. I was even more excited that there were like 100 cans of whole wheat. I've been wanting to try grinding wheat and making homemade wheat bread. We tested out the grinder and the wheat, and it was perfectly fine :) I've got some baking to do.
Now on to the fun Halloween part...
Of course, it started with yummy food. Finger foods, dip, and drinks. I love these paper plates/napkins:
Then it was coloring and pinata:
In this pic, Millie is taking her last hit....this is seconds before it broke, you can see the candy through the crack. Good job Millie!
Grandma wanted it to be a costume party. It was a miracle that we had our costumes ready (mostly). Whew! I knew this month was going to be crazy so I tried to get it all done in September. So glad I did. Can you find Sambo? Check out Will in the 2nd pic.
She gave us these cool masks :)
