The best part of our week was when my sister Amy came with her husband, Paul, and her two youngest, Emma and Hannah! They came Friday and stayed until Sunday morning. It was so fun to see them! They came to see their oldest, Mandy, play her solo at the half time performance of the marching band during the BYU football game. She did great! As did the whole band, of course. They did songs from the new Top Gun movie. One of their formations was even a jet plane with smoke coming out the back. It was very cool. Paul got tickets for Kevin and I, too, and we had a great time being in the stadium and being part of the excitement! We even got to hug Cali for a minute because she was there, too!

On Saturday, we gathered as many as we could for a lunch at Brick Oven. Of the Rich's we had Amy, Paul, Mandy, Emma, and Hannah. Of the Skinner's we had Sarah and Avery, Megan and Ammon (who had just finished a temple session), Cheyenne (who had just finished hiking Rock Canyon), Calianne (who had just finished stake conference), Bethany, and Benjamin. Savannah had to work but I can't believe we got so many of us together! It was really fun.

After lunch, we lost Calianne and Megan and Ammon, but the rest of us drove down to Santaquin to go to Rowley's Red Barn and enjoy their fun activities. We went on a trailer ride, climbed giant hay bales, enjoyed a giant slide, zipped on the zip line, bounced on the bounce pads, got lost in the corn maze, shot the apple cannon, and, of course, took lots of pictures and bought apple cider doughnuts. Yum!

Amy made us chili for dinner. Megan and Ammon came back to visit some more. We all helped Sarah with a project for Halloween. The kids played some games together and us parents talked some more.

The Rich's came to church with us in the morning and then had to head home. We had a great time having them visit, though!! We did fun things we probably wouldn't have otherwise done and we got to spend time with great people that we love!
