Monday we got sandwiches from our favorite sandwich shop-Old Grist Mill-and went to second dam for a picnic. It was nice to walk around a bit and see the beautiful fall leaves.
Mark got to go hunting with his professor on Tuesday and Friday afternoon. Tuesday he got two sharp-tailed grouse and on Friday he got one. I definitely prefer farm-raised meat, but I want to support Mark’s hobbies and don’t want to waste the animals, so I try to be up for the adventures of cooking and eating what he brings home. I thought the grouse turned out pretty good. But there’s still a piece left in our fridge (five days later) so you know it wasn’t our favorite! It is a dark red meat which was just so weird to me because it was a lot like beef, not chicken like I expected.
Every day this week I met with a group of students from my BYU-Idaho class. I loved getting to talk with them for the first time. I just gave a short presentation about the parenting class they’ll begin teaching next week, and then I answered their questions. I was so impressed by some of the questions I received. They want to do their very best while teaching and I can’t wait to hear how it goes! I will say though- I feel much too young to be the instructor. I felt more comfortable imagining I was just another group member, haha.
Saturday morning we cleaned out our garden. We picked any tomatoes that were starting to turn ripe and hope they’ll finish ripening inside.
We have no idea how this happened, but Flynn gave himself a curly mustache!
