The Witches at Gardner Village!

 It has been way too many years since we've been to see the witches at Gardner Village.  We wandered around and had ourselves a fun time.  We bought a treat at the chocolate shop and spent WAY too much time in the holiday store.  That store is by far my favorite!  They have decor for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in there.  But my favorite part of it is all the villages.  Spooky Towns and Christmas villages galore!  I don't know why I didn't get more pics!

I've never been there to see the elves at Christmas time or the Fairies in the spring but they are on my bucket list for this year!  And when I go up for those, I'm definitely taking more pictures of the villages!

Cade and Co.

Cade's friends randomly show up and have impromptu parties all the time.  I'm glad they feel welcome and have fun here!  Cade has grown up so much in the past year!

Jensy Serving in San Antonio, TX

Jens is doing great!  He's gone from San Antonio, to Austin and is now back in San Antonio.  He's currently a District Leader, a trainer and a moving missionary.  He works with the financial clerk and hauls washers, dryers, beds, etc to missionaries when they need them / or they need them fixed / or are moving / etc.  He takes old missionaries going home to the airport and picks new incoming ones up.  He travels the whole mission from border to border and only proselytes when he has free time, which is usually once or twice a week.  He's loving it right now and his companion is Coulson Harris from Utah!

Hiking the Grotto

It's been a few years since we've hiked the grotto so I called the Callister's to see if they wanted to come over for dinner and then the hike.  It was really fun!  Cade, Molly and Andre hiked up above the waterfall to the very top.  You can just make out Cade in his blue sweatshirt at the top of the falls.  The air was crisp, the colors were beautiful and we couldn't beat the company!
