Carving Pumpkins

After Tyson told me he hadn't carved a pumpkin since 2nd or 3rd grade, I decided it was a Halloween must for the two of us. We each chose our own patterns and went to work! We both had a blast! However, we are still debating who had the better pumpkin so if anyone wants to cast their vote and help us settle this feel free!

Vegas!

Vegas Here We Come! Tyson talked everyone into getting tickets the the US Open Supercross at the MGM Grand so we rented a minivan and were on our way! Besides the fact that I left my purse in an Arbys on our way, the trip was perfect! We ate till we couldn't eat anymore, rode the New York, New York rollercoaster until we couldn't ride any more, and walked till our feet wouldn't take another step! It was a busy weekend! We all had a great time!

Camping

Tyson and I went up Mapleton canyon for our first camping trip together. We decided to go very last minute so weren't very prepared. We grabbed our tent, blow-up mattress, and some food and headed for the hills! We were able to round up a few sticks and set up our tent before it got dark. It didn't take long before we realized we forgot a flashlight and our little fire soon turned to coals and we had to call it a night! All things set aside, we had a great time and love doing random things at the last minute together!

Vacation at Gilleland's Cabin

Every summer, the Gillelands go up to the Cabin for vacation. This year was a great deal of fun! We spent most the time riding, relaxing, and visiting! And some spent time reading the final book of the Twilight series and I was jealous the entire time that I didn't have the book with me as well! Tyson wouldn't allow it! (Don't worry, I read it shortly after) The cabin is always a great place to spend time with family and escape life! We are already looking forward to going again next year!
