Is it Fall Already?

Each year, we go to Monticello for the hunt. Gary's grandparents live there and the boys + or - some of the girls go up the mountain to deer hunt. It is sooo fun when we visit, and it always seems to mark the beginning of fall to me.

While we were there, Gary spotted a real life "Tow Mater" parked on Main Street. Tucker has a little Mater toy that he carries around, and we knew we had to take him to see it!

Tucker was a little wary as to if this was the "real Mater" when we showed it to him. He walked around the vehicle and compared his toy to the bigger version. When every part seemed to match, he seemed pretty happy that he had met the real life Mater! When it was time to leave, he did NOT want to go!

Here's Tucker and Daddy taking a ride on the 4-wheelr

Beautiful Monticello in the fall

Gary got a buck!

My cousin, Becca, who lives in Colorado was able to visit while we were in Monticello and Grandma Schaugaard watched the kids while I got to go to the temple with her. Here's Tucker and Kelty eating some apples from Grandma and Grandpa's Tree.

Sandy and Wade finally came to hang out too! 

Jemima got used to being outside while we were there :)

Here's Tucker and his Grandpa

It's always so sad when we have to leave! We're already looking forward to next year!
