Where do you live?

We just think it's funny when W says his whole name and where he lives. (We are still working on his address)

Carving Pumpkins

W got see his first pumpkin carving. (last year the pumpkins froze before we could carve. since it snowed, we now have the pumpkins inside-the woes of living in the mountains.)

W didn't really like getting his hands "dirty".

We saved the pumpkin seeds and roasted later. C seasoned them before roasting, yummy.












C carved all of the pumpkins under W's direction. The one to the left is W's, C's is the first on the right and I got the small one.

According to W, his pumpkin is happy, C's is scary and mine is Mommy.

The Zoo

We enjoyed a nice fall day at the Denver Zoo recently. W had a blast. It's amazing how many of the animals he knows by name.

W loved feeding the birds. We had never done that before. My guess, we will never be able to not do it again.

W had fun with the monkeys.

W and daddy watching the Rhino. The Rhino was not interested.

W eating some lunch.

W actually slide thru this statue. It was one of the few that didn't have children climbing all over it.

Once again, W sleeping in the car after an exciting day in the Front Range.

The Greatest Show on Earth....

Even with a $37 ticket, $15 program, $9 snow cone, $12 cotton candy (which W refused to try) and $6 popcorn... going to the circus with W was priceless.

W was a bit stand offish during the pre-show, but he settled right in, on my lap, once the show started. (good thing we had his empty seat to put all of his loot on)

If you can look past all of the animal cruelty that the circus is accused of, it truly is amazing what they get elephants to do.

W says he will do this when he gets older.

In the end, W really liked the circus. This year's theme was a circus train. So the vehicles looked like parts of a train, which W was into. His top favs: elephants, trampoline guys (they moved too much to get a good photo) and the stilt walkers (one walked over him during the pre-show, wish we would have gotten an autograph because that is all W talks about)





This seems to be the way that W always ends his trips to Denver.

Roarrrrr

What a cute tiger.

I am so scared.

W just got the tiger hat and mittens from G-ma & G-pa E. Just in time, it started snowing yesterday. I guess the summer is officially over.

Reach for the Sky...

...if you don't know Toy Story, this is one of the things Woody says. He also says "there's a snake in my boot" & "someone's poisoned the waterhole". Do you wonder why I know this? W says it over and over as he runs around the house with his new Woody figurine. (I've also seen Toy Story 1 & 2 a few too many times.) He was a Buzz man but no more since he got Woody (Christmas came a bit early). He says thanks to G-ma & G-pa E.
Wait until Halloween, W is going to be a Cowboy. He is very excited.

Woody can also skateboard,

and fly.

Pumpkin Hunting

We went to the Cottonwood Farm in Boulder this weekend. They had a pumpkin patch, animals, corn maze & hay bale maze. They also had wagons to use for toting your pumpkins & children.

W hunting for the perfect pumpkin. In the end, all pumpkins we got were his.

W marching his way through the corn maze. He did a great job leading us to the end.

W really liked the hay bale maze.

W was exhausted after visiting the farm.

Fall

It appears the summer is finally over. The trees are all losing their leaves and the weather has gotten cooler. W just couldn't resist jumping/tramping the leaves C and I raked up.
