October is a fun month for our family. Not only are there several birthdays, but it is also our wedding anniversary as well as Halloween.
Happy Birthday to all our October babies! Robert, Meilani, āIsileli, myself, Grandpa Bob, and Ileina
Although Halloween is not one of my favorite holidays, it has been fun watching the grandchildren in their costumes and being delighted by all the candy they are allowed to eat!!
Here are some of my favorite Halloween pictures of the grandkids:
All I can say is kudos to their parents for coming up with such cute costumes! Far cry from what we did back in the dayā¦
Of course, our wedding anniversary falls right before Halloween (how appropriate)! We usually head out to Vegas since we have a timeshare there:
October is a special time for us to listen to General Conference and get ready for the long winter. Not sure I am ready for the snow just yet!
It was seven years ago that I moved here from Hawaii. Isi came a couple of months later.
October always makes me melancholy, especially now that most of my grandchildren are grown. One of them has graduated from university, another is in college, and one just received her mission call. So grateful for the good times we have had and hope to have many more.
Some scary stories I have written:

I wrote about one scary experience I had when we were in Hawaii at the Polynesian Cultural Center (sad to think it has been closed for quite some time because of COVID)!
