A Wicked outing

Stacey and I enjoyed a fabulous 24-hour period, which went something like this: Dropped off the children at Grandma's house, headed to Downtown Denver, had a fabulous steak dinner at Ted's Montana Grill (Stacey had the tenderloin filet and I had an out-of-this-world Bison Ribeye), saw 'Wicked' at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, stayed the night at the Downtown Denver Sheraton, slept in a little, breakfast at the Delectable Egg, a brisk walk on the 16th Street Mall (did I mention that we had a couple of feet of snow fall in the last 36 hours?), a trip to an indoor mall for some clothes shopping (Stacey was owed an outfit), then back to Grandma's to pick up the children. Cloud nine, my friends, cloud nine.

Field Trippin'

In spite of very wet snow falling the whole time, Seth and I took a preschool field trip today to the Nursery for a hayride and a couple of hay mazes. Seth got to pick out a pumpkin to take home at the end of the day. Seth got to experience his first taste of "What?! My teachers exist outside of the school?" He wasn't too into that.

Birthday fun

We went to Heritage Square to celebrate Sarah's B-day today. They have a nice Music Hall there where they put on a fun children's theater matinée on weekends. This go 'round it was Sleeping Beauty, which happens to be Sarah's favorite princess story. In addition to the music hall, the kids got to ride a ride each (thanks to some strangers who were trying to unload their ride tickets!), then Stacey's Dad treated us all to the Alpine Slide. Woohoo! After spending about 4 hours in Golden, we headed back to the house for dinner, cake, ice cream and presents. A fun day!
Hannah took the above photo. After that she wanted to take every shot! She's hooked.
Sarah bestowing a gift on baby Aurora. Hannah then got to bestow a "keen wit", though she had no idea what that means.
This was taken at the top of the Alpine Slide. I can't believe I actually got a critter next to the sign!

There they go!

It's Autumn Time!

Makin' applesauce for FHE. Mmmmmm!
