We started Halloween with a Fun Run:
Emma did a 5k and Dennis & I did a 10k. Beauty of a day for running!
Then, later…
This year, we had 237 trick or treaters from the hours of 5:30-8pm. A new record, we doled out nearly 12 pounds of sweets. (more…)
Dennis, Emma, and I went to the Rock Creek Farm to pick pumpkins, solve their extensive corn maze (5 miles of Maze!), and see their farm animals.
It was a chilly fall day, but the sun was shining. Perfect for our autumnal celebration. (more…)
I woke up on Saturday, excited about touring Disney. We decided to focus our energy on the Animal Kingdom and Epcot Center. There was so much to see, even in these two parks, I didn’t know if we could do it justice. (more…)
Our plane arrived at 10:30pm local time, Thursday night. We got the rental car, and zipped down the freeway towards Walt Disney World, aka Happiest Place on Earth. When we got there, the first thing that happened was…we got lost. (more…)
On Friday, Dennis & I headed to Elevenmile Canyon State Park, out of C-Springs, CO. Our immediate goal was to snag a good campsite for the group. Everybody else would be getting there in the am on Saturday, so we were hoping there’d be something available in the Canyon.
We arrived at the mouth of Elevenmile at around 3pm, and it was clear there were no open sites available. All the walk-ins were taken. Darn! The ranger informed us that there was a campsite (Blue Mountain) which was just 1 mile down the road.
We ended up with this lovely site (#8), at Blue Mountain. It is a great site for a group. We were able to park all 4 cars, no problem. (Of course, there was an extra fee for the two extra cars, but no biggie!). (more…)
