G'ma and Papa All to Themselves

This was the second year that Mead Schools held their elementary conferences in October--earlier than my school's November conferences.  So the kids had 2 1/2 days without school while Jeff and I had to work.  Enter G'ma Joan and Papa Greg...to the rescue!  We took the kids to the farm Wednesday night and they stayed two nights and then we met Mom and Dad on Friday night in Colfax for dinner--at (Fast) Eddy's.  It also happened to be their 44th Wedding Anniversary!

 G'ma Joan found pumpkin patches for them to see, and let each of them carve their own pumpkins!

And Jeff and I attended conferences for our kids.  Both had wonderful reports to give, which always makes us proud.  My favorite memento from Joshy's conference was his self-reflection--apparently he has a book problem.
