Halloween festivities!


Off to the Willis Pumkin Patch to pick the pumpkins...

Who are these hoodlums ?!



..just the right size!


 Home to carve them...

..this takes serious concentration


..and its definitely messy..

...finished creations. Hey, that face looks just like the pumpkins.


...lookin' good.





 Time for the trick-or-treating. 

 Lydia the Witch Fairy

Caleb the pirate pip-squeak 

 Kambria the gorgeous Rapunzel

 Baylee the fabulous Fairy Godmother

School break...off on a road trip!

Destination Four Corners, Telluride, and Mesa Verde.  We had a great four days traveling with the Merrills , seeing great sights, and lots of outdoor fun.

First Stop.. Four Corners!  Yes, we stood in four states at the same time..wow!

A couple kiddos never got out of their PJ's that morning.



Next stop...the funnest park ever and gorgeous fall leaves, in Colorado just before Telluride.













 Entering Telluride, Colorado.  Most of the fall leaves had fallen, but it was still beautiful. We fished and hiked to waterfalls, and just had fun being together.  




 YEa! Kami finally caught a fish after much patience. Sometimes I wonder why she likes fishing so much. She was so giddy









 So many fun things to take pictures of..



 ...stopping in the sweet shop for some ice cream.  

Since it was the off season Dave found us this great condo to stay in for a couple nights.  We even got out for a date night, while Rustin watched all the kids.  Hooray for Rustin!

After a couple days in Telluride we stopped at Mesa Verde national park.  It was really quite fascinating to see the adobe homes built in the rocks.  There was hands on activities of kids to do.
