The haunted Dinosaur Park

This weekend we took our kids to one of their favorite places (the dinosaur park). We like to visit each year right before halloween, because they always turn it into a haunted dinosaur park. Our kids had a blast, and we had a nice, relaxing day just enjoying a perfect fall day.

Spook Alley

Here is one of the little spook alleys that we went through at the haunted dinosaur park.

oh, man, Is that really a bloody head hanging above me?

Look, Cambree made a new friend!

Look Who is Crawling

Calee has learned how to crawl. She has mastered army crawling and is starting to crawl on her hands and knees. It is funny to watch her move all over the place and go where she wants to go now. I can tell that she loves her new found freedom of being able to move around.

Yeah, I'm pretty cool stuff!
Check me out, I'm crawling!

North View Fire Open House

This monday night was the annual open house at the fire station. My kids are spoiled because they get to see the station and climb around on the trucks anytime they want, but they had a lot of fun with all their friends. I am especially proud of North View because my Grandfather Terrel J. Call, who I am named after, started North View Fire and was the first Fire Chief. My Dad has been a firefighter since I was a little boy and is now a Deputy Chief. I have been doing it since Carter was a baby and I have loved every second of it. It truly is the best job in the world. Later that night as I was tucking Carter into bed, he told me, "Dad, it is so cool that you are a firefighter. Not very many kids get to have Dads that are firefighters, but I do and that is really cool."

Four-wheeler ride on Monte Cristo

I went four-wheeling yesterday with my Dad, Grandpa Call, Uncle Larry, and Cousin Lance. We rode all the way from Curtis Creek to Randolph. The weather was perfect and the scenery was spectacular. I took these pictures along our way.

Call Family Golf Tournament

yesterday eveneing was the annual Call Family golf tournament at Ben Lomond Golf Course. Christy and I were in a foursome with Luke and Carlie. It was a scramble, and our team did really well. I was really proud of Christy. She had some pretty awesome drives.

Christy's Birthday

This weekend we celebrated Christy's Birthday. Friday night we took her to Maddox for dinner. Saturday was Christy's Birthday and she wanted to go to Park City and go shopping. Before we left, the kids gave her birthday presents. They were excited this year for her to open her presents, because we bought her a new pink ipod nano and a wii fit. Park City was a blast.We shopped all day and had a lot of fun. We stopped at the little playground and let the kids run around and play for awhile and I took these pictures.

Cambree's field trip to the dinosaur park

Cambree is back in pre-school again with Mrs. Sargent. She absolutely loves school and she is quite a little smarty-pants. As smart as she is, she probably could have gone to kindergarten this year, but she is really looking forward to another year with Laura and all of her friends.

Yee-Haw!

Carter's first black eye

Carter had his first black eye this month. No it wasn't a 1st grade recess brawl. It was just a traumatic soccer accident.
Ironically, Owen got a black eye too, while he was in town. Owen didn't get his in a fight either, he got his by running right into a table at Bellas restaurant at my Mom's 50th birthday party.
Here is a picture of Carter and Cambree with their cousins, Eli and Owen (Kevin & Mandy's kids) while they were in town visiting from Montana this month.

For those that don't know, Christy and I took the kids to San Francisco with our friends Bryce and Amanda, and their little girl Emmee. We loved every second of it. I took lots of pictures of all of our adventures. I tried to fit as many on our blog as I could, but I literally took about 500 pictures. Anyway, they won't all come up on this front page so be sure and look down the right hand side of our blog at the September archives to see more, like Alcatraz, muir woods, and jelly belly factory.

Our last day in San Francisco

we walked along the beach out to the pier that is right by the Golden Gate bridge. It was saturday, and so there were a lot of people out having fun.

The beach was lined with cool globes like this one and they each had some kind of "save the earth" theme.

Here we are pretty close to the Golden Gate Bridge. I was amazed at how big that bridge really is.
Here we are out on the end of the pier. The wind was blowing and it was a little chilly, but a lot of fun. There were a lot of people fishing and netting crabs, and Carter thought that was pretty cool.
