November - Enjoying the break in action

November is great, because life is always a little slower. We were still having fun doing things, but most of the big things are over for a bit.

Graham had his football banquet. Here he is with Coach Mike getting his end of year stuff. Coach Mike and all the coaches have been so good with Graham. We have loved this football season.

Carson does a tour of UVU to help him decide if he wants to go to school here . . .
Julie and I travel to Logan to say goodbye to Larry Shepherd. Marsha Shepherd (in pink in middle) is dad Bruce King's cousin. We have gotten to know her the last little bit and got to support her for the funeral. It was fun to see Linda and Chris at the funeral, also. These are Bruce's sisters. Marsha's sister, Patti Allsop is in the white cardigan, also Bruce's cousin. After the funeral, Julie, Linda, Chris and I went to lunch at a restaurant. It was a wonderful day!
This was Bagels dream come true - actual bagels all over the grass at our neighbors yard.
Every time we walk this way - he looks for more bagels. 
Too bad they are all cleaned up now!
