Fall Break at the Cabin

Last Friday was fall break at the college and the public schools had the day off as well.  We were shocked and excited that the breaks were actually at the same time (for once) so we decided to head to the cabin in Colorado for the weekend.

The girls loved playing the with train that was there.

 We went on walks because the weather was pretty nice.  A little windy, but otherwise nice fall weather.

A timed family shot, and Ashlee wasn't looking.  Big surprise there!

There was a REALLY big and bad fire in Colorado last summer.  We are standing on the road by the cabin and were surprised at just how close the fires really got.

 Lots of coloring with markers, which the girls love.  The markers at home are not an everyday occurrence.

Our first attempt to make s'mores was not working.  So Chris found something to cook the mallows on and they were delicious.

Saturday we played a bit at the cabin while Molly napped and then drove down to Ft. Collins.

 We were looking for a pumpkin patch and happened upon a fantastic pumpkin patch and fair.  All of the activities were free and then they hoped people would buy pumpkins before they left.
The girls got their faces painted.

 And jumped.

 Bowled.

 And rode the saddle teeter-totter.

 Took a hayride.

 Made a craft.

 Made their way through a hay bale maze.

 And got their picture taken while we paid for our pumpkins.  It was fun for them and a perfect find.

Back at the cabin we went on some more walks.  We discovered that Molly prefers to ride in the front of the Ergo, which is fine because she is still small.

 We just watched The Incredible and Ashlee was pretending to be Elasta Girl.  In her mind she was stretched out and we couldn't see her.

These girls are getting so big.  There are much bigger rocks by the cabin that I'm sure they will be climbing in no time.

Sunday we packed up and headed to Laramie for church.  We had lunch with some good friends there and had fun chatting and catching up.
