"When we bless our ancestors with saving ordinances, they are suddenly endowed with power to help save our children. Whoever seeks to help those on the other side receives help in return in all the affairs of life."-Elder John A. Widstoe.
After the temple we took Kim, Brian, and Stacy to lunch at Joe's BBQ. I loved their pulled pork sandwich!
James went back to the house and took a nap while I went out to finish my Halloween shopping. I bought each of the kids a Halloween cup filled with candy, and also bought lots of glow sticks.
At 5 pm we met everyone at Discovery Park in Gilbert. Adam, Brian, and Trina were the only ones not able to be there. Jared Ammon and Danielle came! The older boys, Max and up, and Ian and Paul all played football in the park until it got too dark. Addy, Ruby, Rowan, Joshua, and Evan loved playing with the glowsticks. Stacy talked Dallin, Michael, and Joseph into playing and singing for us. Danielle, Stacy, and Sheri visited. Kim, Addy, Joshua and I tried to get a game of kickball going but it kind of fizzled out.
Grandpa took a walk around the park with Ruby.
Notice the top of the Gilbert Temple in the background.
I had to put in this picture of
Ruby that Trina sent me earlier this week.
Smile!
