Palmer Park

Look who stopped by this weekend - Chip and Dana.  We had a great time together!  On Sunday morning we went to Palmer Park and ran/rode.  It was a beautiful fall day!

Cottonwood Art Center

My art was chosen to be on display at the Cottonwood Art Center in downtown Colorado Springs.  Grandma Ann and Grandad got to see it too!

Hurray for Ouray!


We had a FANTASTIC long weekend in Ouray, CO with Grandma Ann, Grandad, Mrs. Monica, Mr. Dave, Thomas, Zach, and John.


The house we stayed in at 102 Cutler Creek was unbelievably cool!  We even had enough snow to make a snow man on Friday morning.


Fall boys!


We hiked into Box Canyon Falls just outside Ouray, CO.  


Someone should wash this car!


The Hot Springs in Ouray are the BEST!


On Saturday we drove from Ouray to Durrango, took a bus ride to Silverton, hopped on the Silverton/Durrango train back to Durrango and then drove back to our place in Ouray.  Pfew, that was a fun-filled day.  Here's the gang in Silverton.


Snowball fight with Grandad on Blair Street.  Just like in the old westerns.


Lunch in Silverton at Grumpy's with Lacey Brown playing the piano.  She played some mean ivorys.


Haha, isn't this a great picture?  We think Anderson was taking on the old western gun slinging role a little too seriously.


On the Silverton/Durrango train looking down into the gorge.


On the way home, we HAD to stop and play on the purple dino at the park in Gunnison.  We rode this guy back in 2010 on our trip from OR to VA when we hooked up with Chip.

Troop #1016


Meeting in the backyard in the sun and eating Mary's favorite snack - chocolate covered bananas!


Working on our "A World of Girls" Journey.  Here we are completing our story making relay on the back yard fence.


It has been a busy Girl Scout month!  Jordyn, Ava, Katie and Brooke participated in the Power Up Anti-bullying Girl Scout program.  We learned that bulling is, "on purpose, mean and NOT OK", and, that "doing nothing is not an option."


We did some super fun activities!

Soccer!

The Blue Blazing Star team is awesome!
