October

The best month of the year was extra good this year because the weather was warm and mild and the leaves stuck around for a while.

Ama at Three Sisters.  We mostly scramble around pirate ship rocks.  We don't cover much ground but its fun all the same.

Playing in fall leaves at Meyer Ranch. Logan took this picture.... not bad

The photographer.

Our cousin Brett's rugby team comes to Denver a couple times a year for games.  We're so lucky we get to see her as much as we do!

My kid's second family at Tammy's house

Pumpkin picking at the garden store.  All the pumpkin patches here are crowded and expensive and far away. We didn't make it to one this year.  Jared's was a nice second best.  They had a corn kernel sandbox, haunted house, and haybale maze... all for free :).

Kenny & Andrew's birthday.  I was in charge of the cake, which fell apart and had to be glued back together with frosting.  Maddy did a pretty good job fixing it up.  It still tasted good.

Pumpkin picking in Colorado Springs with Lucas and Axel.  Ama received some new hand me down costumes from the Goetz's and wore them everywhere that week.

Biking near Bear Creek. We stumbled upon a cool dirt track in the woods with giant jumps and had fun watching the big boys catch air.

We went for a walk at the lake and ran into the elk herd swimming.

Halloween.  We went to the Singer's neighborhood where the houses are closer together.  It was warm and there were a million families out-- it was really festive.

Ama was a monkey- again- and Logan was Steve from Minecraft.

Harvest party lawnmower hayrides

My awesome pumpkin.  It lasted about 12 hours.  Something ate it by the next morning.
