We had a fun-filled Fall Break this year! We started off the week in Lake Powell and ended it off at Schnepf Farms. Carlie invited us to come with her and a few of her friends on Thursday, October 16th....and it was a PARTY! There was about 10 kids and 4 moms & a whole lotta fun! Schnepf Farms is in Queen Creek and I would definitely recommend it! There was face painting, a petting zoo, a pumpkin patch, carnival rides, corn mazes, great food, pig races (the kids got a kick out of that) and even fireworks! We made a day of it, we got there around 2:00 in the afternoon and stayed till after 9:00 that night. To say the least, we slept well that night. Chloee still asks every day if we can go back...it is for sure on our calendars for next year!
I'm such a dummy & ran out of the house that day, without yes...my camera! Thanks Carlie, once again for saving the day & making it so I could post this to our blog!
Face Painting!
Merry-Go-Round!
Chloee LOVED the Airplane ride!

America's Next Top Model? Brooke, Jensyn, and Chloee posing in the Pumpkin Patch!
The 3 girls on the "spooky" train ride...this ended up being a little too spooky for these five-year-old drama queens! This picture was taken at the beginning of the ride (they weren't so happy afterward) but us mom's sure got a good laugh!
One last ride on the Bumble Bees!
Carlie's friend, Sundi reserved our very own Bonfire...so fun! A farm employee escorted us to our private Bonfire, started the fire, and provided us with marshmallows & roasting sticks! We ended the day here, watching the fireworks show!
Jared's brother, Jade recently bought a home in Big Water, Utah....Big Water sits on the Utah/Arizona border at Lake Powell. We all got together for a reunion this weekend and had a wonderful time! We all LOVE to water ski and play in the water, so that was the original intention, however, Mother-Nature must have not got the memo! It was a little too chilly for all of that, but we did do some great site-seeing, an afternoon picnic on the beach, some beautiful walks at the Marina's, good conversation, and just overall quality time spent with each other! I took TONS of pictures, obviously I can't post them all but here is some of my favorites!
Chloee & Daddy at the Scenic Overlook
We were trying to find a Ghost Town, but Jade found mud! Good thing Jared was following behind with his tow rope! Yes, this was on purpose....do they EVER grow up?

Chloee & Telson playing in the lake...(they were joined at the hip the entire weekend!)
We could not resist...she looks so pleased, doesn't she?
Saturday, the big boys went on a bass fishing trip....keep in mind this was the coldest day so far in Big Water for 2008 (statistic given by Jade)... I'm pretty sure he heard it reported somewhere? Anyway, the high was only in the mid 50's and the wind was ripping! Jared, said the bonding time was great but he felt like he was in the movie, "A Perfect Storm"... long story short: they came home empty handed, frozen through, and with some more McBride memories to share!
While they were on their adventure the women & children had a great time! We took the kids to a fall carnival that was held at the school. We had just pulled into the parking lot when Chloee exclaimed, "Momma, I think I got a loose tooth!" Once we got into the school I wanted to give it a better look, and it was VERY loose...I just kind of wiggled it to the side & it popped right out! She felt pretty cool & walked around showing EVERYONE the hole in her smile....as I watched her, I had one more glimpse of just how fast she is growing up!
