Leaf Hunt 2024

 We had the annual Lewis Family Leaf Hunt over the weekend.  We decided we have been having the Leaf Hunt for about 50 years.  Maybe missing a few years, like Covid or when all of us were in college.  

It never disappoints. 

The Stars of the Leaf Hunt.  The Original 4.  We don't have Melanie or my Dad.  He really invented the leaf hunt.  He would be proud we are still carrying on.

Awe love all those spooks.  Those are my people.  We Missed Jack.  He is at SUU.  We were excited to have Abi and Brody attend since they are back from Boston.  And Andrew's friend Lily.  We don't let just anyone come to our Leaf Party...:) 

These are the prizes from the Hunt.  Nothing good enough for us.  I think Paula won the best leaf this year.  Grandma gets a gift for everyone.  Grandma's are like that.

This was Brody's first leaf hunt. 

Theo got a Fireman thing which included an Axe.  Nick can't get close to an Axe due to his Injury from his mission where he Axed his leg almost off.

Theo with his Axe that makes Nick Nervous...

We missed Nick for two years while he was on his Mission

Andrew got the fake skeleton

Mark judging the leaf submissions.  He has turned into my dad.  That isn't a bad thing.  Soon he will be wearing those New Balance that velcro.

Leaf Submissions.  We have gotten so much better over the years at collecting our best leaf!

Another party in the books.  Everyone that lives close comes to the party.  You wouldn't believe how many people were in the canyon with us.  They must have been having their own leaf hunt.

I forgot Michelle's family.  Here they are.  Her whole family was there. Way to go.  

I didn't get a pic of Mark's family.  He only had Luke there.  He was missing the other 8.  We missed them.  

3 Years for Abi and Brody

 Abi and Brody have been married for 3 years on Oct 8, 2024.  They decided to come with me and golf at the Lakeside Golf Course.

Lakeside was in great condition.  The weather was perfect.  

AND

Abi got a BIRDIE on hole 5!!  Way to go.  

I scored 55 on 9 holes.  I kept score for a change. 

We went to Lorena's after golf for some Mexical food.  

THANKS Abi and Brody for spending your anniversary with me.  

Here's to a million years more.

Suspension Bridge Hike

I have been feeling so good that we decided to go on a hike to the Suspension Bridge in Draper.   Abi and Brody were in.  Brody has never done this hike, so he was super excited to go.

There's the destination from the first leg of the hike.  

 

Now this is hard to believe that I was slow. I haven't hiked for a while and I'm not 25 anymore.  

Abi hung with me and Brody went ahead.  He is waiting for us at the Bridge.

Abi made it

We all made it.  It was a Great hike.  You will have to just assume that we made it down because we have NO proof.  Beautiful, gorgeous day for a hike.  

We stopped at Maverick AND McDonalds on the way home!

Abi rocks

 Abi just graduated from Physical Assistance School.  She got this in the mail!  yay!!

Scarecrow Walk

 Abi, Brody and I decided to go on this Scarecrow Walk.  It was at the Botanical Garden in Kaysville .

The Botanical garden had a contest and busineses or people made a scarecrow display and you could walk around this pathway and look at them. It was about 3/4 of a mile walk.  Of course we had to check it out. 

Brodawg was tuckered out and sat on this bench.  Then this cat came to visit him.  ICK I hate cats.

Gotta remember next year to do the 5K at the Scarecrow walk

Abi and Brody 

It was a great time.  Took about an hour to walk around a view Scarecrows.  I can't believe that everyone doesn't want to do the walk.  Beautiful fall day, Scarecrows and a nice walk.

SUU Scrimage against Utah Tech

Jack is playing LaCrosse for SUU in Cedar city.  He had his first game, it was a scrimmage against Utah Tech.  It use to be Dixie State University.  He was a starter as a freshman which was super cool.  

Brooke, Abi and I decided to drive down to watch him.  

We got to the game early and watched them practice.  He had a 2 hour practice BEFORE the game.  Seriously I thought he would die because we didn't see any water on the field.  Finally these two girls figured out they needed to fill the water bottles.  :)

Here's all the footage we got.  

 

What a beautiful day it was.  Gorgeous Fall weather.  

He is #7 which is the same number he was in High School

Jack hurt his hand so Brooke is illegally going on the field to give him some ibuprofin and some water

Taking the meds.

We had LOTs of stops at Maverick on our way to Cedar City and back.  Can't get enough of it.  

This is Jack's apartment that we dropped stuff off.  

After the game, we shopped at Walmart for Jack and then he wanted to go to Panda and got the THREE plate entre and ate the whole thing.  He did play really hard at the game.  

Fun short trip.  Jack is rocking the Cedar City and the LaCrosse team.  Can't wait to see what the season brings.
