Camping in American Fork

By
We took a break between semesters and went camping up American Fork Canyon to test out our new tent.

Happy Halloween

By
Halloween included a Shields party at Aunt Kathy’s home where we ate homemade donuts and watched a BYU basketball game. We dressed up as Arial and Eric. We went over to Jeff and Melinda’s apartment for some cool pumpkin carving. Jeff has had a busy semester in the MBA program, but he took time out of his busy schedule to hang out with us. Despite the baby pumpkin, no we aren't pregnant. :)
