Katie {& Marty}'s Fall Festival
I was so excited to be invited to this fun event, and it was even better than I had imagined.
Katie and Marty have such a great yard, with lots of room for games, goats, chickens, ducks, a dog, and bees. (Bill has decided he would like to try his hand at bees now.) Their set-up is suh-weet.
The blindfold water balloon tetherball game was hilarious.
Mar and Jonah bobbed...
(I didn't bob... I would probably drown haha)
The goats were my absolute favorite. Katie had treats out for us to give them, and they were the friendliest little gals (I think they were gals... maybe fellas...? I'll have to ask again).
There was a chicken jumping contest - Katie had printed out bios for each chicken (plus a duck or two), and everyone had to choose who they thought would win the contest.
Cornhole... which I guess my parents had never played.
Bill's parents had made us cornhole boards, so I told my parents about them, and on the spot my mom decided that's what they were going to do for each family for Christmas.
This was a goat teeter-totter. The goats were eating up all the attention.
I guess I've heard goats eat everything haha.
Marty and Katie had a whole food area set up with a variety of chili, cornbread, and treats. Mar and Jonah enjoyed the make-your-own cotton candy station.
When it came time for the chickens to jump... mine did not win. She did not even come close haha. That's why I'll never gamble ;-)
This picture area was so cute. Katie and Marty seriously go all out. It was a beautiful fall day, and it was so fun that Mar and Jonah could join us. I was wishing some of my grands could make it, but they all had something going on. Maybe we'll get invited again sometime ;-)
Thank you, Marty and Katie, for such a fun day!
(I couldn't leave without snapping a pic of their apple tree... they had a loaded plum tree also. I'm having backyard envy.)
Later that day our nephew Justin got to sing in the choir for the Saturday evening session of General Conference.
He's on the right of the row of 3 young men.

General Conference Sunday
We had a crowd over for our between-session luncheon.
Britt and Austin were watching their friends' kids, so we even had a few extra kids running around. It was a little chaotic, but still so fun.
A little time for a quick game of cornhole before the final session started.
You KNOW I loved snuggling Brooksy while listening.
Here's how Bill enjoys almost every final session of General Conference. This time he was joined by his papa {wink},
Emmett kept himself entertained. He loves to draw, and does such amazing work.
Once the session was over, there was a little more time for cornhole. Most of the crowd had slipped out at different times during the session, so there was only a small group left by the end.
Another great conference, and another great gathering. I love my family ♥
