No Pumpkin Patch - Boo Hoo

For some reason, the weather just doesn't seem to cooperate on Pumpkin Patch weekend in Denver - we knew there was snow in the forecast so packed some warmer clothes when we headed to Denver after work on Friday but we had no idea it would be such lousy weather!!

Friday night was fun though - Jaime and Brad, Jessi and Gary and Glenn and I all met at the Stampede for an evening of dancing!! Glenn and I had been practicing all week for the country cha-cha. The people at the Stampede do it differently than what Glenn and I had learned years ago but I found a video on YouTube that showed a couple doing it that way so we spent several nights trying to watch the video and teach ourselves - not an easy process when you've worked all day and are tired, the video keeps stopping AND trying to watch a computer screen while you're dancing.........BUT our practicing paid off because we had that dance down almost perfect and they played several songs over the course of the night that we got to dance too!!

And then Saturday morning arrived - rain, then a mixture of snow and rain and finally SNOW!!! It was coming down pretty heavy so there was no way we could go to the Pumpkin Patch - in fact, we're not sure they even still had it that day!! Jessi and I went out for coffee together and then all of us headed over to Jaime's house and soon Jill, Aleah and Parker arrived!!

The kids were were excited to play in the snow - all of us had forgotten of course how much work it is to bundle them up for their few minutes of play outside!!

Evan and Kenzie were decked out in cute Halloween shirts!!

And little Parker - not only smiling up a storm but pretty much crawling now - he's so cute!!



Our 3 cuties!!

I just had to put in this picture of Kylan - he has become a REAL Indiana Jones fan - they have all the movies and it's all he ever wants to watch, along with the Indiana Jones game for their WII. Jaime got him the cute hat and a whip and he looks so cute with it!! Yes, he will be Indiana Jones for Halloween!!


Glenn and I left by 1:00 to head back home as he was hunting with a friend and we had heard that our mountains did receive quite a bit of snow - the drive was long and miserable with the snow and rain mix coming down!! Woodland Park had around 9" of the pretty white stuff and there was a lot of snow to get off Glenn's car which was parked at his work!! But oh, the snow was sure pretty!!!

I cannot imagine having snow at this time! We had a gorgeous week of temps in the 70's and I loved it. I can wait a little while for snow.
