Football

We have been trying to take advantage of the nice weather. Cole has flag football games every Monday, so Jax enjoys going and cheering him on....as well as playing a little himself.
He will usually watch the game for a few minutes - then turn to the rocks and puddles.
If the weather is nice this is where we spend the majority of our day.
Football stadium/"Colosseum"
It is such as interesting stadium
Below are a few more pictures of campus:

All of Cole's classes are in this building
Spangler
Where we are at least two to three times a week - the cafe and grille are in here and are so yummy!

Salem

With Halloween approaching we decided to take a trip to Salem. It is only 30 minutes away and is a cute little town right on the coast. We had a tour of the museum where we were also taught more of the Salem witch trials - it was a little creepy.

This is where the nineteen that were accused are buried(14 women, 5 men)

Cape Cod

We had a fun weekend in Cape Cod with the LDSSA group here at school. There were about 25 couples that joined us. There was no school on Friday, so Thursday night we had a big dinner together here on campus and then left early Friday morning for the beach.
There were so many cute homes along the coast. This one was one of my favorites. It looks like a home right out of a Ralph Lauren magazine.

JFK Memorial
Our hotel had a great wave pool and a couple of fun slides. The kids and adults had so much fun swimming. The adults would race down the slides timing one another. I am not sure if the adults or kids had more fun.Sheldon lives next door to us. Every day either he or Jaxon will be knocking on each others doors to come out and play. It is so cute to see these little 1 and 2 year old kids knocking on the door wanting to play with their friends. Jaxon has loved having Maddy across the hall and Sheldon next door they all play so well together.
Friday night we all put our kids down and hired a couple babysitters to literally watch 10 or so monitors in the hall. I thought it was so funny to come outside and see monitors in front of every door. It was nice that we were all next to each other.
We had a few rooms at the hotel where we played games all night. It was so much fun.
Happy Birthday Kristin!
