Back in the beginning of October, we hiked to the Grotto up Payson Canyon. It was so beautiful! It actually wasn't really a hike, it was more like a 10-15 minute stroll.
Then later in the month, we met up Provo Canyon with a bunch of our friends from our old ward in Orem, and got together to have a BBQ. We had a blast!
It was so nice to see everyone.
We went to the Red Barn in Santaquin to go for a hay ride to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins with my family. We went to the Red Barn to get some of their famous apple cider donuts, and other good treats. All of my nieces and nephews loved it.
Manny and I happen to have a few days off work during one weekend in October, so we went fishing...a lot! Below is a video of Manny catching a fish at Strawberry...and then it got away. I think that it was probably the biggest of the day, but we'll never know. So sad for Manny.
We also saw the salmon spawning while we were at Strawberry. It was kind of weird to watch. There were hundreds of them all up and down the river.
During this weekend, I finally caught my 100th fish, and even surpassed it by 6. That was my goal for the year, and I got it. Manny just about doubled what I had though. Here he is holding one of my big fish at Strawberry, 20 3/4".
October has one of my favorite holidays; HALLOWEEN. I love Halloween, I love dressing up, and I love carving pumpkins. We found some HUGE pumpkins to carve. They were so big that we could hear all the kids comment on how big they were as they were at our doorstep. They were big enough, that I couldn't even pick them up and carry them (these are not pumpkins that I'm holding in the picture above). Manny's pumpkins is on the left, and mine is on the right.

Since Thanksgiving is coming up in just a few days, hopefully I'll get around to posting it before November is over.

You look like you have been having so much fun. Did they actually have the apple cider donuts this year? Were they tasty or did I talk them up too much. :-) Love your pumpkins too. It is great too see what you are up to. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
Man, I was really hoping that your post was gonna say...have you been wondering if I'm pregnant. Maybe your next post!!
I have been wondering what you've been up to-thanks for the update! I love the pumpkins-and wow-that's a lot of fishing! Happy Thanksgiving!
