Harvest time and Estes Park

Okay, finally getting into Fall here.  Whew!!!  October was no exception to the craziness.  Illness swept over our house yet again.  Poor Megan had maybe a week without fevers. We took her into our Pediatricians after she developed a rash....the doctor swabbed both kiddos and both had Strep!!!  What a fun way to spend Ian's Fall break! Two different antibiotics for 10 days wasn't as bad as it could have been. Both kids did great taking their meds.  But Ian proclaimed, next time we take Megan into the doctors, he WILL NOT get swabbed.
I haven't even had a chance to get their flu shots this year...
Despite not having a great place to go find produce or cute pumpkins, we found a few Harvest festivals to walk around at, and they were free!!!
We missed going to the mountains for Fall Colors, but we did manage a trip to Estes Park for the day, followed with dinner with our friends from Santa Maria, who just moved to Boulder.

Walking around a small Harvest Festival...I got stopped twice with people telling me they went to Cal Poly too

Navigating the hay maze

Ian is a pro at hay mazes


Playing in the hay pile-not my idea, but Paul told me to relax and let them have fun

So I did

Ian about ready to receive a handful of hay on his head by some stranger

Megan loved getting her face painted by a real Rodeo princess

I like this one daddy

Famous Stanley Hotel-the haunted hotel where Stephen King wrote "the shining"

Snow bunnies

Fresh air and Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory makes these kids giddy

Megan is a ham
