Thanksgiving Gardens for F.H.E.

My brother Steve and his wife Amy invited us to go with them to Thanksgiving Point for F.H.E. They were having a little carnival and it was free to members and their families. Josh had school, but we decided to go anyway...I was a little worried about having all of the kids by myself, but it worked out.
My great brother Steve. He is the cutest dad.
There was free cotton candy that they boys enjoyed immensely. I think it was the first time any of them had ever had cotton candy.
Gorgeous sunsett.
My brother David and cute little Kathryn.
Hunter decided to roll down the hill WHILE eating his cotton candy. Didn't work out so well, sticky and grass don't usually get along.
We tend to climb everything we are around. I am always happy when we are outside and nobody cares as much.
There were all sorts of games and prizes for everyone. The boys LOVED all of the games.


Car races were a huge hit. These poor little cars were a little thrashed, but the kids didn't care (not sure how the owners felt about it.)

The boys all won a medal that was quickly inducted into their "most precious things" collection.
Fountains and boys...need I say more?
Whomever designed this totally rocks. It is so beautiful
I got some great pictures there even with my little point and shoot camera. The night and setting were breathtaking. I was sad that Josh wasn't there with us. We will have to go back with him one of these days.

What are they looking at?
Holy cow! Those fish are beautiful...and enormous. If one of the kids fell in there might be a frenzy.
These gardens are just so beautiful!

We had such a great time. Thanks for taking us Steve and Amy!
