May Farms: year 4

We enjoyed our annual visit to May Farms (35 miles east of Denver) again this year. The day was beautiful, and no phones rang to interrupt our family fun. Our kids cry less at farms too. This ride was almost as popular as Star Tours at Disneyland. We rode it three times.

"I can't get this stem off!"

Notice the provisions on my back in case we get lost in the corn maze for a looooong time. Lisa also figured out why they call them "candy corns."

Kanyon is our animal lover. Even a jack-ass needs a friend.

All of the kids loved climbing on the old tractors. I think it's a universal attraction.

Kori built this one day and promptly fell asleep on it.

This week was Outdoor Lab for Tyler. Every year they take the sixth graders up to a mountain school for one week. They sleep in bunkhouses and attend various outdoor classes. It is a lot like scout camp. Ty had a lot of fun and came home with some good stories. He especially liked creating his own shelter out of branches and bark. He slept pretty good Friday night when he got home. He gets a quick break and then we are headed out this weekend for a scout campout Friday night.

Bring back any old memories?
Don't you love the modern cowboy's western attire; shorts and sandals!

Another week has flown by. A little sun and lots of rain. Yesterday started out raining and ended up beautiful. I stayed home and trimmed the trees and shrubs along the back fence now that the mugos are gone. Mom went with Lacey and family to the Palouse Harvest Festival at the research farm. There were hay rides, horse rides, face painting, carnival games, and a pumpkin patch. She came home with three small pumpkins for us. I was a little disappointed so last night at Wal-Mart with bought two big ones. Life is good. Mom has to leave early this morning to practice with the choir. They called last night and had lost their organist and asked if she could play.

Enjoy your day/week. Happy birthday to those who have just had or are having a birthday. Halloween is just around the corner.
