Table for Eight

We were able to take the kids to a corn-maze-pumpkin-festival-thingy in Utah last night. (And two friends. Which is always a hard thing for us. With 6 kids, if everyone brings a friend, we are short on seatbelts-- and sometimes cash --ha! So we end up doing this somewhat consistent rotation for bringing a friend to family events.

PS: Here's how the rest of the Meehans are getting along ... I was able to exchange emails with Elder Meehan! (He's on a service mission in Indiana, for those of you new to the blog.)
