Canadian Fall Festival



For the weekend of October 17-18th, we traveled to Canadian to visit Bobo and Meme. The town was having their Fall Foliage Festival. Jeremy and I had never visited, so this was our first trip and we were very impressed with the town. We will probably never eat at the RailHead again as it took about 3 hours for our food. I know they were busy, but WOW!!!

After eating, the guys went back to Jim's for a football-watching afternoon and the girls went to the Arts and Crafts fair. They had lots of neat things to look through and Morgan and I made some good purchases. We looked around the town at several stores and headed back up the hill. Judson had made a friend who was going to feed the elk across the road. So he and I went with her and he helped while I took pictures. This was the first time I had seen live elk, very different.

The next day they drove us around town and showed us houses, the art museum, and the old bridge. It is 3/4 of a mile long, so I got my walking in for the day. Then we took the kids to the skate park, they love it! Tony Hawk was brought in to design it, so it was a very nice place for kids. Even Jeremy, the big kid, got to ride on a skateboard.


We had an exhausting, but nice weekend and got home to prepare for the next week.

We have been busy with school and the kids activities. Just an update, Grandpa Jon came and visited for a couple of days. Jud took him all around the neighborhood and they made it to the park to play catch. They had a great time and wished he could come more often.




We made it to Matador for Maw-ma's 88th birthday party. The kids enjoyed visiting the cousins and loved the ice cream and cake. Maw-ma was thrilled to see them all! She would love to watch them all explore the canyons like we all did.
