All decked out and ready for some candy!
 
My Pirate
 
 Cinderella.  Lucy watched the movie for the first time today so she was explaining to her friends how she got her dress.  Somehow, her story was the same as the movie and, the funny thing was, I think they believed her...

 Snow White, complete with lips red as blood, hair black as night and skin white as snow!

Our pumpkins, carved just in time.
 
Home from trick or treating.
 



Time for a bath...hopefully the dye comes out!

A Train Ride on the Georgetown Loop

 Yesterday, we drove into the mountains to Georgetown, CO and went for a train ride.

In front of the 100 ft tall train bridge that we would soon be going over.
 




Waiting at the station...
 



Here it comes...
 
The first glimpse of it as it pulls into the station.
 

All aboard!
 

Enjoying snacks in the first class car.
 

Back at the station.

Trunk or Treat

 On the Friday before Halloween, Charlie's school held Trunk or Treat, where the kids get to dress up, families decorate their vehicle trunks and the kids go trunk to trunk getting candy.

 Phil with Winnie.

All the cars lined up in the parking lot.
 

We really liked this trunk, a shark swallowing Nemo and Dori. 

First Snow of the Season

We woke up on October 25 to a snow covered yard!  The girls were so excited, especially Chloe who saw snow on the trampoline!  Lucy was thrilled, thinking that if the snow is here, Christmas must be very, very soon!
 
 

Making snow angels.
 








Eating the snow.  I didn't try it, but Lucy said it was delicious! 
 

Trekking up the hill...
 


 More snow angels...





The wind had blown our scarecrows over and now their looking a little frosty!
