We made our way back to Arizona to have Halloween with the Pothier's. One of the best parts of being back in the states is being able to get in the car and take a road trip. Road trips aren't an option when you live on a tiny island. :)
These two blanket buddies were reunited.
Kara and Steve watched our kiddos while we did a session at the Mesa temple. We haven't lived close to a temple since we were very first married, so we try to take advantage whenever we are near one. It was a gorgeous day and the ten minute drive to the temple was glorious!
It was an exceptionally warm Halloween weekend and the kids took full advantage of the pool. Anderson forgot that he wasn't wearing his floaties and jumped off the diving board without thinking. It surprised all of us including Anderson! His eyes got really big once he realized what he had done, but he took it like a champ and managed to swim to the edge. Thankfully we were all right there watching and it ended well!
It was a little warm to be getting into our costumes but the kids were anxiously awaiting the big trick or treat. Kara had completely outdone herself with their family Lego costumes. They were crazy!! They looked amazing. Everywhere we went, people were dying over their costumes.
We went with a Peter Pan theme this year.
Wendy, Smee, Peter Pan and two lost boys.
Of course the kids made out like bandits!
The next day we went to the Phoenix temple open house. We took the older kids through the tour and it made my heart happy to hear them all say how beautiful it was. They walked through reverently and you could tell that they felt the spirit inside.
Then we came outside and took goofy pictures. :)
And Jack and Haley...they make me smile. They looked like little parents helping out with the babies.
Cannon and Taylor
It was the prefect way to end our trip!
