Mom and Dad Black Come for a Visit

In celebration of Dad's retirement and the end of their mission, my parents embarked on a month long road trip. We were lucky enough to be the first stop on their fun trip.

Presents were immediately handed out upon arrival. Anna and Isaac were thrilled with their Halloween goody bags.

The twins were spoiled with outfits, homemade blankets, and adorable, pint-sized accessories.




We ate dinner at our one favorite local pizza joints, Anthony's. Mom kindly sat with Anna at the bar while the rest of us snagged a table. Strangely (and luckily) enough, the BYU football game was playing. It was a fun treat for Jeff and I since we don't have TV and miss fall sports this time of year. I'm pretty sure we were the only ones in the restaurant interested in that particular game.

We went raspberry picking and ate a picnic at Berry Patch Farms Saturday between conference sessions.

Had to go pumpkin patching. I love all the gradients of fall colors. Gorgeous!

The corn kernel pit was a hit with the kids and grandpa. Actually, I think we all piled in.

Red Robin. Yum.

Anna takes her meals very seriously.

We had such a wonderful time with my mom and dad. We always feel blessed when family comes to visit. We only make it to Utah two or three times a year, so when we get visitors it feels like a little piece of home delivered right to us. Thanks for coming, Mom and Dad!
