Fall really delivered this year. We took a weekend trip to Albequerque, NM to see some friends, some balloons, and a few sites along the way. Here we are at the Monticello, UT temple.
Daddy and Logan were in 4 states at once in this pic!
We found an absolutely incredible children's museum called Explora. Wowzer! Hands-on exhibit after hands-on exhibit brought delight to kids and parents alike. I'd make the trek again just for another day there.
Some of our besties from down south met us. They have 2 (that is right... I said 2) sets of fraternal twins, with another baby on the way. We didn't get a great picture of the whole group... shocker. We spent the time chasing all 6 kids under 5.
This was a great bubble exhibit where we caught a shot of most of the group.
We woke up very early Saturday morning to see the Balloon Fiesta. Logan and I are pictured above with the "dawn patrol" balloons.
Stockton was exhausted and mezmerized all at the same time.
We were told there were about 5,000 balloons participating.
The owner of this nice stork balloon decided to take some kids up on a tethered ride.
Logan jumped right in line!
After getting home from our trip, Logan held his annual pumpkin sale. We get mileage all year long out of this big day. Logan plants, weeds and harvests his own pumpkins. This year he sold about 80, and made a bundle.
Here are two of his admiring customers, Grandma and Grandpa. Note his darling homemade price list.
The evening after last year's pumpkin sale, I went into labor. We thought it appropriate to celebrate Stockton's birthday at the sale again this year. Happy Birthday, little buddy.

What a fun trip!!! Love reading about your adventures!
I'm a little jealous. I've wanted to go to the balloon festival for a while, but things have never worked out.
It is wonderful that you just pick up and go. You'll have such fun pictures and memories (and kids grow up SO fast).
Wow, those balloons look incredible! What a brave boy to go up in one, it would scare me to bits. I LOVE that Logan plants and tends and sells his own pumpkins. We might have to try that. . .
How fun! I can't believe your baby is one! Crazy how fast time flies! Good job with those pumpkins!
