RMNP

We went to the national park Sat a.m. to see the fall colors. Sorry Beth, Lila and BJC...we saw a lot of wildlife this time including herds of elk grazing and five mountain goats on the way down the canyon. We also did some hiking.

Grandma and Grandpa at RMNP

Grandma and the girls went to a faculty concert at RCS Fruday night. They really enjoyed it.

Flag football day

playing catch, picnicking, and spectating.

Flag Football has begun!

Paul is a Minnesota Viking. Aaron is "the defensive coordinator." (e.g. teaching the boys their left from their right during quick huddles). He is 1-1 from his Sunday double header and we have another game this Sunday that Grandma and Grandpa will be attending.  He's enjoying it (and getting used to that mouthguard...)!

Pictures with the Grands

With both sets of grandparents visiting for Hannah's birthday, I had to take advantage of the rare photo opportunity. They turned out quite nice and we had a lovely visit! Happy 9th birthday Hannah!

 

Then Hannah got her hands on the camera and took a few more...
