Bobbing for Apples at YSA

Pumpkin Carving at YSA

I wish I could have captured this better.

YSA games

Some chose watermelons to carve because they wanted to eat the insides.

We just finished several days of celebrations.  First, we spent Halloween with the YSA.  We taught Book of Mormon and then the YSA enjoyed Halloween activities and a Shrek Halloween movie.  We had some cute refreshments and I think everyone had a good time.  Friday was special because went with the YSA to the Preston Temple so they could do baptisms for the dead.  It was a good experience to assist with this.  Afterward, we went to McDonald's for milkshakes.  Saturday morning we went with a  group of people in our ward to the temple and in the evening we attended the ward Halloween party.  Craig and I did the pumpkin walk, a favorite game we do on Halloween with our grandchildren when we are home.  The kids loved the game and the party went well.  We celebrated Bonfire night at a members home.  We had a good dinner and watched fire works with the family.  We had a pleasant evening. We also ate dinner with a nice family

Zone Conference pumpkin carving

Our local sisters carving pumpkins

on Sunday night.  We certainly have had an entertaining and also an uplifting week.  Craig's Book of Mormon class went especially well on Tuesday night.  We also had a pumpkin carving contest at our zone meeting.  Craig and I were asked to judge the pumpkin carving contest at YSA and zone conference.  We were also the judges at the ward Halloween party.  It has rained a lot recently, but it hasn't stopped the fun.
