Halloween 2011
The favorite holiday of the year is here. And the costume of the year....
Costume selection turned out to be tough one this year. Miss Kayla couldn't decide between being Dora, kitty, or puppy. So we decided to take her around to a few costume stores and take a consensus. Time after time, puppy won out. Puppy it is.
Group shot of the year.
We once again had the Sandoval gang over for pizza and trick or treating. Looks like this is becoming a tradition. I learned that trying to get a group shot of kids who are ready for trick or treating is quite difficult. Not too bad.

AHG Family Game Night
Tonight was our first annual family game night. Each family was to bring one or two of their favorite games to share. I have to say I wasn't too excited about his event. But, it turned out to be a great night. The kids all had a blast just hanging out with each other. Kayla found her game of choice right away.
On occasion she could be persuaded by loud cheering to check out other games. But, the hippo always won out. Something about smacking those hippos was mesmerizing.

Pumpkin Patch
This weekend was time for our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. Since Kayla was old enough to really enjoy the activity we decided to make the trip to the big pumpkin patch. This place also has mazes, petting farms, and other activities. We went straight to the pumpkin fields first. The hunt to find the perfect pumpkin was on. This one was a little heavy.
Nice seat, but way too big.
But, this one was just right.
Here's the gang and some of the days picks.
One the way out we made a quick stop at the hay maze. Apparently you are supposed to run on top of the maze not in it.
That is until you reach these huge cracks. How is a baby to conquer these?
Ah, like this. Its a tough job, but someones gotta do it.

Thundercats Still Rule
We haven't been up to Leadville much since school started so we went up this weekend to check on things. Fall time here is always so weird for us. Its too cold for summer sports, yet not cold enough for winter fun. So, we had a nice lazy relaxing weekend up in the mountains.
Dad had the foresight to order a new TV show on Netflix for the girls to enjoy over the long weekend. Much to our surprise this show was a huge hit. Well, not too much of a surprise. After all it was a favorite of both of ours as kids. Good to see the genes passed on to our kiddos.
On Sunday we woke up to a light dusting of snow. Our first snowfall of the year. The big girls went straight outside to make snow angels. Kayla however couldn't be taken away from her "Boom Boom kitty." You have to be a true Lion-o fan to understand that one.
