Fall Colors...
Pictures really don't do it justice, but the fall colors on the mountains are amazing... All the beautiful Green and Gold and we have had perfect weather for getting out and enjoying it too!
Church Picnic
The churches of Breckenridge and Leadville had a joint church picnic. Chad helped to lead the games and there was, of course, great food for the afternoon!

Semi Pro Football...
The Denver Titans took on the Colorado All Stars at a fund raising game for the Lake County Panthers in Leadville! Of course with a couple of football lovers in our family we spent our evening at the game!
Apple Fest...
We attended the Apple Fest in Buena Vista today... Located on an old farmstead we had the opportunity to:
Participate in a cake walk (Noah was the winner)
Take pony rides
Make leather crafts
Pick vegetables in the garden
as well as make applesauce, watch the apple cider making process and pick apples off the trees... Along with lots of samples.

Labor Day...
After a busy few weeks we took our Labor Day Monday a little slower. We went exploring, looking for this place...
Chad and I hiked up for a good view of this on our honeymoon and the plan is to do this again come June when snow fills the crevices and leaves a picture of a cross on the mountain... At this time of the year it is pretty hard to see, but if you look closely it is there.
The rest of the day was spent on a couple of short hikes and great views along the way!
Chad and the boys practiced their river crossing skills during the day, while I sat on a rock and took pictures!
After a fun and relaxing day, we stopped on the way home at a trailhead that really isn't next to anything. Here we got the boys out of the van just to look up! It was pretty amazing to see all the stars! Of course the picture shows none... If you want to see them, you will just have to come for a visit!

Fun in the sun...
Labor Day weekend... A celebration of the end of summer in most of our minds. Since arriving in Leadville, it hasn't really felt warm and hot like summer... We have even seen the beginnings of winter on the peaks of the mountains out our window. So a trip to the lake for us usually doesn't include much of this...
However, on this Labor Day weekend we had some friends who were camping and their boys were splashing in the water and the boys wanted to go in... We said OK, but since there were no swimsuits, they went in clothing and all. If you could see pictures of the adults you would find us standing around in sweatshirts and I personally think Seth had the right idea...
He chose to play in the sand instead of the surf... What to do when the fun in the water is all over...
Gather around a hot fire and try to warm up!

24 hours of Leadville...
Bike and running races are all the hype in Leadville at this time of the year. These events, sponsored by the Trial 100 team, offer us a great opportunity to get out in our community and raise some much needed funds in the process. For this 24 hour event we enjoyed selling soups and hot drinks.
