We're back from our weekend jaunt to Denver, and I must say, it was well worth the 12-hour car ride each way.
Not because of the last-minute victory which made the Husband absolutely ecstatic, but because we got to hang out with these people that we love:
And we got to go trick-or-treating with our cousins, which is a first for us, having always lived away from family:
Trick-or-treating was fun for everyone except Hannah. She was terrified of anything resembling a spiderweb, skeleton, or bat.
Yeah. Which apparently pretty much makes up the whole of Halloween.
So, I gently explained to her that no doors, no candy was going to be the policy of the night. Even when she begged me to go to the door FOR her, I held firm. I mean, after all, that's less candy for me to consume while she's sleeping, right?
But lucky for her, cousin Will has a soft spot for little fraidy cat girls. At every house she refused to approach, he would ask for an extra piece of candy, and bring it to her himself.
Her own mother was not so kind.
But all in all, the trip was fantastic. How would it be otherwise with the weather a balmy 75 degrees, the BYU game a success, and the company hilarious? We really hated to see it end.
If only we could click our ruby red heels and be home in an instant. Those last few hours in the car got to be a little long.
P.S. Did you vote today? I did. And it was worth waiting in line for over an hour for. Man, I love this country of ours.
