The Corn Maze with Josh and Kristie

A lovely Saturday

I am pretty sure it will storm tonight, so here is maybe the last glimpse of the fall beautifulness. We had a great family day being lazy and wandering arond Ft. Collins, one of our favorite haunts.

Beck in what I call the “spinning butter cup” for some reason

Aug on some weird swingy thing

The best slide in the world… which resides at the best park in the world:

after delicious Rasta Pasta (no pictures, too busy stuffing my face, we went to the Bean Cycle to Check out Aunt Betony’s BEAUTIFUL show.

The Bean Cycle has the most AMAZING tiny book store with a kids corner that we will and MUST emulate at Atlas:

It makes me think a lot about how we don’t do enough neat stuff for kids because we are afraid they will mess stuff up, but this was very respected and loved, even by my hooligans. I think I need to shift my thinking and let kids have more nice stuff… even if they might mess it up

Then we tried out the new frisbees on the Windsor part of the Poudre trail

We saw a MILLION birds at lake windsor

And then to the Allens to celebrate Dr. Quaylan… Brookly was asleep, my only regret of the day, when I got out my camera.

Jeff and the boys played Wii

The Doctor and the Mrs. Yea, I was impressed too… and then I saw that his teeshirt was about Chuck Norris. That brought him back to earth.

PING

Atlas’ kids ministry… here is what our activites look like. Yes, they look like the grown-ups are silly, that is why I take the pictures and let Eric and Amy do the actions

Pumpkin Patch o9

Grand Lake Cabin

61 photos might be too many to put in such a post, but that was just the amazing time we had… not to mention having our good buddies Kim and Aaron along who just happen to be professional photographers (these are the friends that sold Jeff my amazing camera) so we had a pretty picturific mini-vacation. Highlights: Nana’ s breakfast, fishing with Papa John, sleeping in (til 7:30) a little hike and a breathtaking view -

Random cute things said (in no particular order)

Augie: (20 mins after arriving) “Mom, do we live here now?”

Becket: “Can we sing little cabin in the woods?”

Becket: “Mom, see that poop? That is mountain lion poop. Stay on the path or get eated!”

Augie: “A cabin is a tiny house… but ours is big, but still a cabin.”

oops, and I guess I posted all the pictures twice, but I am not reloading them, so enjoy then doubly as much.
