We took a trip down to St. George for the Haunted Forest fundraiser that Michelle put together for Wyatt. I was so happy that I was able to make it. It felt so good to put our efforts toward something in Wyatt's name. One of the highlights was spending time with Michael being the chainsaw clown. It was fun to watch grown men run for their lives. I also enjoyed spending time with Michelle's family. It's been years since I've spent that kind of time with them all. Being with Michael's boys and going through the forest with them was among my favorites. They were practically pulling me. I gladly held onto their little hands and screamed the entire way through.
Later in the week we took a break with the kids to trick or treat. They were all so proud of their stash. It's been years since I've spent time with my family on Halloween. It was much needed family time. Thank you to Michelle for hosting and being patient with us all, thanks to Jenn for watching kids, thanks to Mom for joining me at the tractor when Michael couldn't, and thanks to Neil's family for sharing their farm. It will be a week I will never forget. A week full of tears, laughter, love, and pain (carrying a chainsaw around for several hours a night, along with a lot of fake limping can do a number on your body). Seeing my family come together in this way was so rewarding and beautiful. I love them all to pieces.
