Thanksgiving Point

Hello!

Well, I have no idea why this is all underlined... and I don't know how to change it, so it's staying like this. :] Well, last night was SO much fun! In place of FHE, our ward went to Thanksgiving Point. We started off by going through the corn maze (in the shape of David Archuletta's face). We finished it so quickly (on accident-we stumbled across the exit not even realizing we were at the front of the maze) and decided to keep going through it a second time. We still finished it pretty quickly (on accident again...). :]
This is on top of one of those little lookout bridges in the corn maze... It was super windy and cold up there. And I think I look REALLY old in this picture...
This was taken after we got out of the maze. On the left is Alan, a guy from our ward who hung out with us last night. He and Somers looke hilarious :]
This was on the hay ride... I'd never been on a hay ride before, and they were having a lot of fun making fun of me for it. :]
The corn in Mallory's hands are from the David Archuletta corn maze... she brought them home with her, and she says she's going to make a mosaic out of the kernels and make his face... She's pretty much obsessed with him. She was so proud of herself for "taking David Archuletta's face" home... :]
This was probably the coolest pumpkin I have ever seen. :] There was this huge tower of insanely detailed pumpkins. Some of them had the tiniest little slices and they were so intricate, it was amazing.
There was a random wooden train in the middle of the field... and so Julie and Somers decided to climb through it.
Somers' head peeking out of the top of the train...
This is Eric on the top and Alan on the bottom. They're from our ward. I'd never met them, but they've talked to Julie and Krista before, and so they decided to tag along with us. On Thursday we're going with them to Brother McQuarrie's house (our second counselor in the bishopric) to watch When A Stranger Calls on his big screen TV with surround sound :]
Our lovely pyramid in the middle of Thanksgiving Point. On the bottom right is Kelsey, one of the girls in our FHE group.
Our little group at Thanksgiving Point, minus Mallory and I.
Somers and Mallory were trying to race down the slide... and Mallory went completely sideways.
Alan was trying to rope the fake cattle behind Brendon, but caught Brendon instead :]
We were trying to find our way to the exit so we could get some hot chocolate and donuts... and we stumbled across the little kids princess section complete with a princess jump house and a fake horse drawn carriage. We got so excited we just had to take a picture in the carriage :]

Speaking of princesses, we may soon know one! One of my visiting teachers, Macey, who lives in the other basement apartment in Penrose, has an interview on Halloween with someone from Disney, and she's going to audition to be Sleeping Beauty at Disney World. She'd be perfect for it-she's obsessed with Disney and she just looks and acts like a Disney princess! She's been coming over frequently and practicing her princess wave and pretending to be a princess for us because she's so nervous for her audition.

On other cool news, one of Mallory's friends who lives in Salt Lake, was hired a couple of months ago to be a model. This got him some connections, of course. On November 21st in Salt Lake, Stephenie Meyer will be hosting a huge Twilight Movie Premiere, at which there will be hired actors/models who will pretend to be the characters from the books. And guess who Mallory's friend will be? Edward Cullen. So Mallory was pretty excited when she heard that she will (hopefully) know TWO fictional characters. How cool is that? And if he ever comes to visit, I can say the same :]

Anyways, this week is going to be a lot of fun. After all, Halloween is this Friday, and so we've decided that every night we're going to watch a scary movie to get into the spirit of Halloween. I just bought my Halloween costume today. Well, most of it. We decided that we're going to do a group costume- we're going to be the Clue characters. I'm Miss Scarlet (of course, since red is my favorite color), and so I just bought a red dress at the DI today. I still need some stuff to dress it up a bit, because it's a very plain dress--what more can you expect from DI? :]

I'll post more later!
