Oct 2011 - Grammy & Grampy's visit! (part 1)

Grammy & Grampy came to visit in October, which was a perfect time to go to a local farm/pumpkin patch with Aunt Michelle, Uncle Trevor, Isaiah and Ayla!  We started off with the petting zoo at the farm...

These three are so goofy together!
Some quality Lego time with Grampy.
They went through the straw maze a couple times...



We all went through the corn maze together and nearly got lost...

Riley's Birthday Party!

Sweet Riley just turned two!  She is the younger sister of Will (plaid shirt with dark hair behind her, who is one of Christopher's friends).  Riley is the only girl in a sea of boys!

Each of the kids got to paint a pumpkin, which they had a lot of fun doing.

Christopher and his best friends, Kai and Eli, finishing up their pumpkins.
Riley's house is set in a beautiful part of the mountains - you can see the Aspens beginning to change color.

Enjoying the birthday cupcake.  He ate all the icing, licking it off like ice cream and didn't have a single bite of the actual cake part.  The "sugar high" started about 20 minutes later...

We went to the Circus!!

So...yesterday, we got to go to the circus with Michelle, Trevor, Isaiah and Ayla and we had a GREAT time!
The three cousins before the show started...
The beginning of the show makes you realize that there is SO MUCH to see, it's hard to not be overwhelmed visually.
The tight-rope performers were really impressive.
Entranced in the show...
The tigers seemed so fierce but put on a good show!
That ball of fire in the air is actually a MAN ON FIRE being shot from a cannon, aiming for the landing pad on the right.  Crazy!!
The elephants were a big hit and lots of fun to watch!
