"Crunching, crinkling autumn leaves Spiraling, swirling in the breeze."

It reached 75* this afternoon. Of course this necessitated a run/walk down to the Post Office and Mercantile to get the boys vanilla ice cream. I brought my camera to document the things we see on our walks multiple times a week. So here's a peek at our cute community tucked away in the foothills that would be considered mountains back East. Most certainly I did not do justice to this place, so you'll just have to come visit and see the place yourself.

Beautiful tree on the walk home.

Love the character of this house.

 Stopped at the playground on the walk back home from the Post Office and Mercantile.

View coming up the hill to our home.

View across the street of Bogus and Stack Rock.

Hours of fun playing in the leaves. Typical of the boys: Braeden neatly cleans them up in a pile and Ian runs through the pile messing it up. Brandon showed up and made a massive pile of leaves from the four trees in the front yard for the boys to get buried in and wrestle.  

Can you find Ian?

And just in case you think 75* is a normal temperature for November, snow is predicted this weekend. We shall see if the snowflakes stick around. 

Sweets for the Sweet

Our First Trick or Treat Adventure 

Airplane with Thomas Hat/ Construction Site Worker

I get to be in the picture!

1st stop. Pleasantly surprised that B was able to say "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you" without prompting.  Ian always the mimic, followed with manners. 

1st bit of candy, Twizzlers

My flower child, had to pick up every dandelion on the way up the hill.

1st and only spooky house. Ian almost got taken out by a plastic axe while getting candy at the door. The home owner quickly blocked it before it scared Ian.
