Skyhigh Sports Trampoline Park

During the week Michelle took us to Skyhigh Sports Trampoline Park in Spokane and the boys had a lot of fun jumping playing dodgeball, jumping into a foam pit and playing video games. I remember Charlottes family taking us to something like this in Utah once or twice.











Spokane Temple

The Spokane Temple is on the same lot as my Mom's church so we took some pictures. I wanted to walk around the grounds, but it was locked up and Nathan was starting to throw a fit.


Present Exchange at Michelles House

Sunday we went over to my Sister Michelle's to exchange presents.
 
I love how Michelle's dog actually has the same expression as Nathan in these two pictures!


One of our gifts to Micheele was this huge cocca mug with cocca, marshmellows and a pepperment stick.




Seeing the lights in downtown Spokane

Our last night there we went out to see the lights in Downtown Spokane.




 This blurry, but it gives an idea of the size of the Christmas tree in this shopping center.

Cub Scouts Pack Meeting at the Cerebrial Palsy home

School Halloween Parade

Nathans a Nija and Ben's a Dementor from Harry Potter.








Trick or Treating

I toke Ben and Nathan Trick or Treatng to the Mall like usual which is a good place to get candy, then we hit a fewmembers houses. We let them eat what they wanted that night and then gave them the offer to ether keep the candy and eat it slowly (yeah right) or to pick out ten each and sell me their candy for a $10 - 15 toy of their choosing, they picked the toy. Seeing how Nathan was bouncing off the walls that night I'm very happy with their chioce. Ben was a Dementor from Harry Potter (he wanted to be a grim reaper, but Charlotte didn't like the idea) and Nathan was a Ninja.


Nathan got a hold of my tablet and toke pictures



Lego events at Toys R Us

Toys R Us has these Lego events every so often that allow the kids to come in and build legos that the Lego company provides. This one wasn't so cooll since it was some game and once they got done they had to give the their creations back, but the next week they had a Halloween/Monster Fighter one where they were able to build a castle and then take hometheir creations which is what the store usually lets them do. Ben and Nathan are crazy about Legos.


Acacia Fall Harvest Festival

Ben and Nathan's school had a fall fundraiser, not sure why they didn't just call it a Halloween Festival since it was only a few days before Halloween, unless it was out of silly political correctness. We won a free family meal at Toppers one of the best pizza places that I've ever eaten at in a raffle so that was cool. There were games (Charlotte manned a bottle raising game where you had to use a fishing pole/spring with a metal ring at the end., What was funny was that they were beer bottles, so she joked to he PTA heads "Oh sure put the Mormon in the game with the beer bottles!" They also had a blow up slide and obstacle course that Nathan went on (Ben's becoming too cool to do something like that) and hamburgers, pizza and baked goods.

September Pack Meeting

Awards
Afterwards they had a game where the Scouts had to use plastic pipes to hook them up, un hook and run the pipe to the other end and connect it before the ball rolled out of the pipe with out walking with the pipe that had the ball. The goal was to carry the ball to the opposite end of the gym and back.
