Halloweeeeeeeen Fun!

The fun began on Wednesday!  The 3rd grade classess visited the nursing home residents and delivered homemade cards; lots of the residents were dressed up and it was fun to see them all!  The kids got some treats in return, too :-)  Afterwards we headed back to school for the costume parade and party!!!  Joshua's classes had a party but didn't dress up :-)

 

 

 

I had the "singing girls" in my car :-) 

They sang Baby Shark and Romans 16:19 all the way there and back!

 

...back at the school...

 

 

 

Last night we went to Hannah's friends' house for pumpkin-carving party! 

She told us cowgirls need a cow...

 

 

 

Tonight we're off to the Fall Festival at Bethlehem! WHEEEEEEEE!

...my baseball player and cowgirl...

...my dear friend, and planner-extraordinaire, Rita (aka 70s Elvis)!!!

First Broncos Game!

Joshua and Hannah went with Grandma Kathy to the Broncos game today - their first ever!!! ...please, remember that we're baseball people :-)   They were SO excited!  Thanks to their friends, Noah and Hannah W, who loaned them a bunch of Broncos attire. 
Unfortunately, the Broncos are currently losing miserably to the Raiders ~
but I know the kids are having fun and probably eating really well :-)

Outdoor Lab II

The boys had a wonderful week at Outdoor Lab - lots of amazing learning opportunities and they met some great kids from Zion in Brighton. 

...beautiful location in God's country...

 ...the mountain man ~ what's wrong with this picture?

...the badger on the left was found at Rocky Flats - the one on the right was found in the wild...

...his name is "Two Knives" - he talked about survival, fur-trapping, early trading...

Could you survive with just the things in your backpack???

(Thankfully, Joshua had a water bottle!)
