Amercian Thanksgiving Dinner

Nothing says thanks for dinner Grandma quite like putting the bowl on your head.

Hair Cuts Ken Style

As part of the American Thanksgiving fun the Bates Boys received haircuts a la Ken. They look pretty cute. It will be fun to watch grow out!

Bath Time

The Bates Boys Visit the Ontario Science Centre

The Ontario Science Centre is just one of the coolest places to go with kids in Toronto. It's the best science museum - for kids, that I've been too. The boys had so much fun. The location is beautiful too. It's fun to go in the summer time and walk around outside. There was a marvel comic book show and Isaac and Joey got to lift a car (no photo proof but it really happened), see the Incredible Hulk's brain, and swing around like Spiderman. The photos were all taken in the children's area - specifically for children under the age of 8.

Rockin' out man!

Where did Thomas go?

Kirtland Trip

On November 3rd and 4th we took the Young Men and Young Women on an overnight trip to see the historic sites in Kirtland, Ohio. It was a really fun trip. We drove down on the Friday evening and spent Saturday visiting the Newel K. Whitney store - now part of "Historic Kirtland", the temple, and the Johnson farm. I know the kids had fun and I know they even felt the spirit. There's an incredible feeling at the church historic sites. It's fun to live so close to some of them!

Diane and Julia - aren't they cute!
