More October Break

After Navuoo, we went back the Minneapolis with the Chryslers and had a great time. We went to a pumpkin farm, did a corn maze and found some wooden cows! We also went the the Mall of America and went on a ton of rides!!

Back in Navuoo we learned how to make rope, Maya is helping with the final part.

Max had to crank the big wheel to make the rope. He loved making it go as fast as he could.

Madi had a turn too!

We went to the brickmakers shop and learned how they made bricks in Navuoo. It was an amazing time and we learned so much.

October Break

During the kids October Break from school we went to Navuoo with Bryant's parents and Gina, Derek and their kids. It was amazing to see some many different places. Here we are at Carthage. Loved the feeling and spirit that were there.

Rockwood and Chrysler cousins! They were amazed at how small the covered wagons were and would have hated traveling that way. They prefer airplanes and air conditiioned cars!

At a well

They loved throwing and skipping rocks into the mighty mississippi!

The Navuoo Temple was beautiful. There is a statue of Joseph and Hyrum near the temple. Being there helped increase our love and amazement of Joseph and Hyrum and their families.

Max's Birthday

Max turned 8 on Oct 2nd and wanted a party at Bounce U.

It turned out to be a blast! So easy on my part - no clean up no planning just show up with a cake and they do the rest. They even have people to play with the kids and make sure that everyone is involved.

They went on slides, played baskethall

Maya loved the slides!!

Had a cool foam ball blaster guns and had a war back in forth. Now all of the kids want to have their birthday paties there!

We are so glad that Max is in our family and that he turned eight!!

This summer the Sherwood family had the bi annual family reunion and it was in Palmyra New York. We were all able to go home and see where we grew up! We had a ton a fun with 36 cousins and lots of aunts and uncles. My parents are there right now working in the Palmyra Temple so we were able to see them. The best was being together as a family. We went to the lake one day, visited all of the sites one day, did the Sherwood Amazing Race one day and just enjoyed our selves - but not the humidity.

My kids even got to see the house where I grew up and the walk we had to make each day home from the bus to get to our home 1/4 of a mile.
