Fall Festival

We went to a fall festival out at Chatfield.  They had pony rides, hay rides, bounce houses, face painting, carnival games etc.  I was to cheap to pay for the extra stuff so we just stuck with the carnival games.  They gave you 5 tickets with the entry fee but as we were walking in a bunch of people gave us their extra tickets so we probably had 30 tickets.  Kelci was in seventh heaven with the games.  Half the time she cheated and would not stand back at the table to throw things but oh well!

Fall Colors

I have lived here for 10 years and this was the first time I made it to the mountains to enjoy the fall colors.  We didn't time it right to see the red colors but it was still beautiful.

Bowling

For Nathans work party we went glow in the dark bowling.  Kelci was very hesitant at first but quickly got over that fear.  We couldn't keep her off the lanes.  Needless to say every day she asks if we can go bowling.

Idaho Springs

We had some empty time one afternoon so we decided to take a trip up to Idaho Springs.  It was perfect weather so we had to take advantage of it. 

  Kelci's favorite thing of the day.....throwing rocks in the river!!

Playing on the old train

 There was a little shop on main street that had a bubble machine outside its door.  That kept Kelci occupied for quite awhile.

Easter

This year we took Kelci to the community Easter egg hunt.  She had a blast.  I was afraid I was going to loose her because she was running around everywhere picking up eggs and there were A LOT of people.  I eventually told Kelci she had to stop so other kids could get some.  One of the girls from school, Olivia, came with us and I think she had more fun helping Kelci then she did finding her own eggs. 

 Checking out the goodies with Olivia

Nathan's mom saw on pinterest a new way to dye eggs.  Instead of having to deal with the cups of water, you put some rice in a cup and add food coloring to it.  Add the egg to the cup, cover then shake.  It is really nice for younger kids.  That way they don't make a mess with the water. I should have taken a picture of the final product.  It gave the eggs a speckled look which I liked a lot better then the solid color

Kelci enjoying her goodies she received in her Easter basket.  She has been obsessed with the movie Frozen so therefore she had a "Frozen" Easter. 

The Easter bunny was kind enough to leave Kelci some eggs to find around the house

We enjoyed Easter dinner with the Wrights.  Off course Pam had to spoil Kelci and give her an Easter basket and set up and Easter Egg Hunt in the back yard.  Kelci was in seventh heaven running around their backyard finding eggs.  Every time she found an egg she had to open it right then and there.  She couldn't grasp the concept that if we open them inside the candy and money wont fall everywhere.
