Halloween in Colorado!

At this rate I'll have Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures up by Mother's Day :-/  In my defense, I had so many problems uploading these pictures!  I had to redo several times!!!  AAAAHHHH!!

We had a great time visiting Colorado at the end of October for a WHOLE WEEK!  The kids did great in the car.  We broke up the trip again and that seems to do the trick.  We made it just in time to be at cousin Emily's 9th birthday party (YAY!)!

We also had fun carving pumpkins!


Poor Uncle Tom had to carve Lilly's very intricate beauty and the beast design- he was a trooper!
Here is the witch Daddy carved.. not bad!
 
The weather was great, so we decided to spend a day in Estes Park!  The kids enjoyed some huge ice cream cones..

 
We did a lot of fun playing in Me-Ma and Papa's backyard!
 
Miss Priss!

pics out of order- Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes..
 
Cousins eating popcorn and watching cartoons!
 
We spent Halloween Trick-or-Treating in Aunt Pam's neighborhood in Broomfield!  It was the best neighborhood for the best treats!  Tons of kiddos walking around with their families, and so many of the houses were decorated. It was so neat!
Our beautiful ballerina and super tough Batman!


About to set off on foot with all our cousins!


Papa got in on the action with his scary old man mask!

More playing in the backyard.  This was too cute of Nate and Matty!
We went to a fun fall carnival at Me-Maw and Papa's church!  The kids played games for tokens and got their faces painted!
 
and then they played in the beautiful fall leaves!

with sweet cousin Emily!

 
Ok- this marks the beginning of my PHONE PICS of the trip! :)
 
Here the kids are, so excited to play in a patch of snow leftover from a storm they had before we got there (the weather was actually perfect while we were there)!
Sweet pic of Me-Ma reading to the kids by the fire place..
Family photo in the pretty leaves!
