Our city has a farmer's market every Monday night in the fall complete with a craft fair and food trucks and I've never been! I decided to fix that this week. Even though Calianne has tennis on Monday nights and Cheyenne has basketball, Savannah, Beth, Ben, Kevin, and I went to Main Street to check out the action. It was really pretty cool! They have lights strung over the booths and we had Terriyaki chicken from the food trucks. Lots of people were there walking about--all with masks on, of course--but still enjoying being out enjoying the doings of fall. I forgot to get a picture until we had split up to go home, but here's what I got:

Benjamin had karate this week on Tuesday and Thursday, football on Wednesday, and Max in between. He tells me he has created another amazing house in Minecraft and this one's yard is full of flowers and bushes.

Bethany had cross country all week and ran a great race on Friday finishing 8th for her team! It was the first time a race caused her pain, though, and she didn't like that much. She also had karate and brought her baritone home once to practice.

Calianne had tennis on Monday and Wednesday and made cookies for quarantined friends on Wednesday. In between she practiced piano and did loads of homework--sometimes with friends in study groups. She's starting to think about maybe getting a job.

Cheyenne had basketball on Monday and Wednesday and Saturday. She helped with the cookie making and also practiced piano and did loads of homework. She's thinking about maybe getting a job, too, but is worried about when basketball season starts.

Savannah and I met Dad and Megan for lunch on Thursday and that was super fun! Meg lives near Kevin's office so he often invites her to join him for lunch. She is very busy with school and work and husband, but is happy and doing well. She loves her experience design classes.

I for real got that hike with Robin this week past Bridal Veil Falls. It was beautiful and it was fun to talk with my friend!

Kevin and I moved forward on our plans to make a patio in the back corner of our yard! Kevin rented a skid steer (why do they call it that? -- Ha! looked it up. Funny because we did do a lot of skidding.) and after some trial and error, levelled the area for us! Yay! Ben really wanted to drive it, too. He was sure he could if only given the chance.

Saturday was the first day of general conference. We loved it! That night was a women's session and Sarah came over to watch with us. She is busy teaching school and also filling requirements for her own schooling. She seems really happy though! They mentioned that Pres. Hinckley read the Proclamation on the Family in women's conference 25 years ago and I remembered sitting by myself in the chapel listening to women's conference, pregnant with my first girl. Now I have oodles of girls watching women's session with me! What a blessed girl am I. Life moves so fast.
