Last night, the Dixie Overlook after the scarecrow walk

Out of order pic with the last round of poison ball. 
Right after the scarecrow walk we walked over to all these cool red rock areas that you could climb all around on. I should have taken more pictures apparently, but I was brave and went and climbed up this area to do the overlook of St. George. It was so so pretty there. SO many people were taking actual bridal pictures, family pictures, etc. 
You can see the Red Cliffs Temple in the background. 
And right as part of it they had this adobe house in the cafe/cliff. It was cool to go inside and see. 
And last minute hanging out by the firepit our final night at the party house. It was such a fun trip!
 

Botanical Garden Scarecrow Walk

Out of order pic in the scary spooky canyon.
All the cousin picture in front. It was so fun to go somewhere that I didn't have to plan! Barnhisels had never been there either so it was fun to do something together no one had done. And it was FREE! It kind of reminded you of the witches at Gardner Village, but skeleton/scarecrow version. 
They were so creative and fun.




Some were definitely a little more spooky/scary looking but a lot were fun. 
Proof I was there. 

This Micheal Jackson one was really cool. 
And this spooky canyon was really fun. They had a couple jump out scares, but not too bad. 

Loved the UFO. 
This fake spider jumped out as you walked by. 
 



Frankenstein talked to you.

These pictures were fun. 

Part of the spooky castle area. 
It was such a nice evening and even though we went there before it got dark, we were so glad we did because the parking was nutso. 

Kolob Reservoir

We drove up to Kolob Reservoir to check out the leaves and just to see it since even the Barnhisels hadn't been there. BEAUTIFUL drive with colors and rock formations. 
Getting ready to skip rocks ;) 
Studying the plant life. Liam was freezing to death (very weird) so we didn't end up staying super long but it was a nice outing,



Token cousins picture. 
Boy picture. 
My phone takes terrible pictures from the car, but this reminded me of Capitol Reef and a combo of the Badlands somewhat.

Fall Break, staying at the Barnhisel "party house"

The Barnhisel's so generously let us stay at their house in Hurricane. I had no idea it was such a party house, so that's what I nicknamed it after we got there. The girls and Sam played a ZILLION rounds of poison ball. Like a ZILLION. 
The hot tub was really fun too. The boys got in one of the nights and the girls and Sam got in several times over the 3 days we stayed there. 


Playing dodgeball out on their turf at night with the lights. 



And they were so kind to have ice cream basically every night for us. Seriously, we went through a lot of ice cream. 

Friday night the girls and Sam stayed up WAY too late watching The Night Before Christmas movie. 
More poison ball.
 
Right when we got there Liam and the three of them played Sorry. Liam won of course. 
First round of poison ball was with Liam. Thanks Barnhisels! You have SUCH a fun house! All of us loved loved staying there with you!
