This past week we paraded outside in the freezing cold to watch a piece of the twin towers drive through our little town. There were police escorts; as well as army tanks, fire engines, and BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) motorcycle riders. It drove past rather quickly, but all of us got a glimpse of the stone except for Rory. We had a nice discussion about the importance of remembering our history and I tried to answer any questions my kids had about 9/11 without scaring them. 
Saturday we experienced the Zombie Apocalypse in full force, okay, we actually went to Frightmares at Lagoon, but there were zombies and crazy people all over the place. We went through a fun little haunted house, a corn maze, and watched the hack n slash chainsaw show. Connor and Kadee were able to ride most the rides, but Matthew and Kinlee only got to ride a couple. We enjoyed delicious funnel cake and Dippin' Dots ice cream and even rode on the train. Connor and Kadee both won prizes and Connor is such a good big brother, he gave his to Kinlee. After Frightmares we spent the night with my grandparents and watched the Sunday morning session of conference with them. After the morning session my uncle and his family had us over for a delicious dinner. They have 2 parakeets that the kids were completely fascinated with. It was such a great weekend with my family!
