But be careful of the weather! Halloween was supposed to be in Idaho this year with Leo and Madeline. We planned to leave Wednesday afternoon and get as far as Sidney Nebraska; which still lfet us about 10-12 hours on Thursday. When we left, we were well aware of the terrible storm that was developing across Wyoming (the only way we were getting to Idaho was through Wyoming). We left anyway with hopes that the interstate would be open by Thursday morning and the snowful amounts they were predicting would not come true. Let me just say, we must be the eternal optomists, because not only did the snowfall amount come true, it doubled in some areas, and the interstate was closed both East and West come Thursday morning, and Friday morning. Us, and a bunch of truckers stuck in the motel. Thank goodness for Walmart and Cabelas; oh and a freezing cold pool and a slighty warmer than bathtub water hot tub. It was difficult at times to stay busy and take our minds off the weather. Thanfully my mom was with us to help entertain and Tony ended up with some meetings in Sidney and was therefore stuck as well when the interstate back home was closed!! (HE was not planning on being with us in Idaho). Lunchtime on Friday, interstate opened Eastbound and we took off for home...with much sadness on the way, we made it home safely and without ripping out anyones hair!!

Oh Yes it was disappointing that we did not make it all the way to see the Welsh Family. All the kids were talking about Trick 'r Treating together and were sad that we would not be together for a few days. We also had the Chapman van packed full (because Grammy wanted to take some extra stuff). The kids were good and Olivia sang for the truckers in the lobby on Thursday night. They were playing cards and our little singer decided to let them all know in her strongest voice the "Jesus loves her" and with hand/arm gestures as well. Priceless
