Welcome Back


In case you haven't noticed, we have been here some time. If you were to look at the very first post on our blog, you would see the same kind of pictures. That's right, it's Guy Fawkes night again in England. It wouldn't be a fall in England without having a large bonfire and hanging out. We got a few pictures that should look pretty similar to one year ago. Compare them closely. It looks like our children have changed.


We also have some pictures from Halloween. Our ward had a Trunk or Treat, which is by far the highest yield form of getting candy. Due to this, my children have no idea how good they have it. There is no better way to get a large amount of candy in a very short period of time. Nicholas was "too big" to Trick or Treat this year. Evan wore that same outfit as last year. Lizzy was a hollywood star and Katy was a cat. I was a large, tall person who ate too much chili at the potluck before Trunk or Treat. It was a stretch for me but I pulled off the costume. This is Lizzy, in anguish after a great make-up job.



We have also done a little traveling. I went on a mountain biking trip with some guys from work in Wales. Wales was beautiful and it rained. We went to a place called Coed Y Brenin. Look it up on youtube. We did a ride called MBR. We all finished the 30 km ride, we even had a little bit of our pride when we finished.


We visited another castle here. This one allowed us to walk on the high castle wall. It was a nice view. This castle had quite a history, the home of the family of Anne Boleyn and also her cousin. Nice place.

How can Nick be to big to trick or treat? I'm still eating all the candy I got from our trunk or treat. Hope all is well. Asa and Jenn Nielson.
