Estes Park

We love going to Estes Park in the Fall. We stay in Ernie's cousins cabin. They have really big rock around the cabin and the kids go out all day climbing on them. When we go down into town we like to take pictures of the kids by the river, as you can tell they had a lot fun in the leaves. For the first time we went and walked around most of the lake. There were HUGE elk everywhere. We didn't get very close to them like some crazy people do. It's always a nice weekend when we go there. It's only about an hour and a half from our house, we need to go more often.

Trick or Treat

This year for Halloween Kaison was a Jedi, Aspyn was Bell from Beauty and the Beast and Courtlyn was a chicken. The kids had lots of fun trick or treating, it was nice weather so we went to a lot more house this year. For the first time Kaison and Aspyn went up to the doors by themselves while Ernie and I stayed on the sidewalk, that was nice. Aspyn kept commenting on how many cars were in the driveways and things in the peoples houses. She didn't stop talking all night. They couldn't wait to get home and dump all their candy out... we got enough candy to last a very long time.

Carving Pumpkins

The kids had a great time carving their pumpkins this year. Kaison picked a skeleton on a pirate flag, Aspyn picked a cat and Courtlyn had a fun smiling pumpkin with two teeth just like her. Kaison loved pulling out all the insides and squishing it in his hands. When Aspyn stuck her hand in her pumpkin she wasn't sure if she liked the feel of it, so Ernie did most of hers. While those two were doing that, Courtlyn was enjoying her pumpkin lid. It was a fun night.
