The boys had a great time with the sleds we have lugged around throughout Wyoming and Colorado thus far. This was the first really great slope that wasn't a highway embankment and they absolutely flew down the mountain.
The climb to the top was tough but so worth the fun trip down!
We loved the introduction to Colorado winter in a small dose. The trees were beautiful with the fresh snow. It certainly seemed more like Christmas than October to us! If you look closely, you can see a doe with her fawn under the snow burdened tree branches.
As it warmed up, the snow left almost as quickly as it had arrived. Craig and Will found a dry table under a 5th wheel being stored for winter to tackle pumpkin carving. We had been so busy enjoying the snow that the local stores were sold out of traditional pumpkins, but we were happy with the albino variety!
Their hard work payed off in the cheerful glowing pumpkin faces below:
We were glad that we got a photo, since the nightly visit from the mule deer resulted in 1/2 eaten pumpkins the next morning!
Our normal tradition for Halloween is to hand out candy and gospel tracts, but visitors were unlikely to the RV park a few miles from town. So, we stayed in to make popcorn balls and watch movies and had a great time!
