We had another great weekend.  Soccer on Saturday.  The team was able to pull off a win at the last minute.  It was a very cold game!  We need to learn to dress warmer when the wind is blowing.Halloween gift basket from Grandma Harvest Festival at Izzy Bird that had all kinds of fun activities  Steak Salads for dinner at Lowry’s Beer Garden Rocket Man Ice Cream Lowry’s Beer Garden Carving pumpkins with our neighbors at an impromptu alley party  Finished pumpkins from the kids in the neighborhood

Sunday’s adventure was out to Estes Park.  We saw a ton of Elk relaxing on the golf course, had a fantastic lunch, hit the taffy shop and even went fishing.  It was the perfect day!  Andrew’s first fish! Piper’s first fish!

Andrew played a great game on Saturday.  He scored 2 goals and had many saves.  It was a great game but wicked windy!

We moved into our new home this week.  It’s been overwhelming trying to unpack but we are loving our house and location.  The developers of Stapleton wanted families out mingling with each other so they designed the neighborhoods with pocket parks and mews.  Mews are grassy areas in front of the block of homes.  There isn’t a street in front so if visiting you would park on the side street.  We now live on a mew and have a little park at the end.  The kids can just run outside and play.  It’s great! On Saturday Piper and Andrew spent all day outside playing with the neighbors.  There is a good mix of ages.  Our next door neighbor is in Piper’s class too.  The girls were thrilled when they found out.  I think we are really going to love our new life here.    Front porch View of the mew with neighbor Zoe and Harper.  Zoe is the little one in front.  She’s so tiny! Below is a picture of the park at the end of the block.

The kitties are adjusting.  They love all the windows to look out.At our new breakfast place.  They do it right by adding sprinkles to the kid dishes.

The kids couldn’t wait to get home and play in the snow.  It had already started to melt but they still had fun.  Next time we will be better equipped.  I think we might be the only people here that are thrilled it snowed.  It seems this is a bit early for everyone else…
