October!!!

October has been a very busy month! We started it off with conference weekend! Conference was wonderful! To make it feel more like home we made the traditional Sunday morning breakfast of sausage fondue, fruit, and chocolate milk! Saturday during both sessions we made applesauce! It turned out very pink but it smelled and tasted so good! We got twenty two pints in all and between batches of applesauce we made strawberry and raspberry jam! We got 14 jars of raspberry and 4 of strawberry! It was a lot of work but it is worth it now and in the months to come!





Last weekend we did the vision walk which SCO is one the biggest donors for. They let any of the students that want to do it and one of the teachers offers an incentive for the students to do it. It was a three mile walk which I (Heather) accomplished but was sore from later! It was good to get out, a little chilly but Andrew gets one of his quizzes dropped for doing it so it is all worth it in the end!






As part of the Homecoming weekend at SCO the day after the White Coat Ceremony they have a big barbecue catered by one of the local barbecue restaurants! They have blow up toys, silent auction, bean bags, mini golf, rock wall, and of course the most popular there the all you can drink beer stations which is why most people really came. The food was good (especially our all you can drink water) and the weather was perfect!
