Aurora and I made a crystal tree a few weeks ago. It was cool to see. We used bluing, ammonia, and table salt. It took a few days to grow. Here are some pictures.
This year we decided to cut down our own tree at a lot just down the road from us. It was fun and Aurora got a baby tree to take home. Here are some pictures from that night.

Here is the finished tree.Aurora is singing a solo in the primary program next Sunday. I took a video of her part while they were practicing in the primary room today.
Last Monday we carved pumpkins and decorated Halloween cookies for Family Home Evening. Aurora really hated cleaning the "guts" out of her pumpkin. She picked a white one this year. I let her draw the face and then I carved it out for her.
On the 24th we went to the Wild Animal Park for their Halloween thing. It was OK. They had a few crafts and some trick or treating and some carnival games. Aurora liked it. Here are a few pictures from it. There was a bridge that led over to the games and they had a "troll" under it that scared Aurora at first, because she did not know he was there.
