Visiters and pumpkins

 It's always fun when Grandpa (& Grandma) comes; when Grandpa (& Grandma) comes to play! This past weekend my parents came up for a visit. Having their Grandchildren move away has been hard, and they want to see their Grandkids as often as they can so they planned a visit before the winter weather could put an end to visits for a while. My parents came up on Friday (thankfully they missed the snow storm that hit Friday evening). They brought Kendal up some Halloween sweets and treats. They even spoiled me by bringing up some cache valley cider (so so good; nothing says fall like cider and beautiful trees that change color!) Kendal loves having family around to visit. She was delighted all weekend that Grandma and Grandpa got to visit and stay over with us.  Pete wasn't too sure about Grandpa and Grandma at the beginning of the visit, but once he warmed up the smiles and babbling went on all weekend. We got caught up on happenings, made cookies, played, and my Dad and Casey even got adventurous enough to carve the massive, snowy, and frozen pumpkin.

The deer have taking bites from the pumpkin before we carved it. The hair / top was the part Casey had to cut from the deer bites. Since carving the pumpkin it's hairline is receding and part of an eye is missing thanks to those stupid deer. (I'll have to post a follow up picture with Halloween to see how much these buggers eat)
