Red River pt 1

We just couldn't let October go by

without going to Red River!

We tried.  Really!  We kinda did.

 

We just love it too much to

stay away for that long.

 

Friday's weather was chilly!

Not going to stop us!

We bundled up and headed

for the trails.  The leaves

are just so gorgeous!

So bright and Orange and Yellow.

Beautiful!

 

 

We started seeing snow about

half way up.  Fall and Christmas

all rolled into one!

 

 

 

It was actually still snowing when

we made it to the top of  Greenie Peak.

You could look out an couldn't see

anything but fog.

Still gorgeous though.

 

 

 

 

 

We also rode Goose Lake.

This is what the beginning

looked like.

 

The little 2 wimped out

and stayed at the cabin.

More fun for us!

This trail was snow covered.

And Beautiful!

 

 

This is what the end looked like.

Completely different!

Cold. Foggy. Amazing!

 

After riding the boys got to

experience Oktoberfest.

Red River pt 2

Today was all about

beautiful weather and new trails!

I can't even tell you how beautiful

everything looked.  Gorgeous Day!

 

These two trying to figure out

the map.  We might be in trouble!

We have always been told not

to do the 4th of July Canyon.

Too rough and too rocky.

We tried it for the first time.

LOVED it!  Great new riding

and the views were amazing!

 

 

For sure one of our new

favorites!

 

 

 

Greenie Peak

looked a whole lot different

the second day!

 

 

Cody drove us home.

This kid is getting better

and better every time he drives.

 

Chilly evening by the campfire.

Um yes!

We decided to do something

else we've never done...

Night Riding. In the Woods.

On the Dark Trails. With only the

stars and headlights to guide us.

And let me tell you! if you turn those

headlights off it is PITCH black.

Which KC did.  While we were

driving.  In the middle of a

spot surrounded by trees and

I'm sure creepy scary forest things!

It was scary!

It was a great trip!

 



This and That

Fall is my most favorite time

of the year!

 

 

The boys wanted to go all out

and do a little more Halloween decorating.

 

We made these apothecary potions.

It was a lot of fun trying to decide what

we were doing to be creating.

I love them and think they turned

out really great. 

 

I finally made some time to make

myself a sign.  I love it!

 

Grocery shopping for our Red River

trip.  We always seem to eat better

when we go out of town.

 

That sushi!

mmmmmmm...

It's some of my favorite!

 

 

This girl has been in one

crazy weenie mood.

We are still getting lots of

baby cherry tomatoes.

 

Still so nice to pick them

fresh from the vine for our salads.

Pups and sunshine!

Washing this baby before we

take it to the mountains.

That makes sense I guess.

Rylee's 12th Birthday

Cookie Cake. Snacks. Friends.

That's all this little boy wanted for

his birthday party.

 

Birthday spankings from his

Papa - not so much.  :)

 

A little friendly Go-Cart racing.

Maybe not the best birthday present,

but certainly the most unique.

The boys had a lot of fun with it.

 

 

Hot Chocolate Bar

for breakfast.

Rylee picked out everything.

Sprinkles. Caramels. Marshmallows.

Peppermints. Floating Eyeball Candies.

 

That boy cracks me up!

And giant

cinnamon rolls.

 

After a crazy little boy filled night...

 

a lazy family movie day was a must!

Except for this little boy!

4:30am with the buddies was

too late for him.
