Redstone Castle

Today the kids & I went with some other homeschoolers to take a tour of Redstone Castle. If you feel like reading, here's some history behind it http://www.coloradohistory.org/RIPsigns/show_markertext.asp?id=893

Some of our favorites were the carriage house, the bell in the courtyard, the high, curved, gold-leafed ceilings and the sprawling grounds. Here's some pictures...

Gotta have more? Check our our photo album on the right.

Afterward we spent some time in Redstone & had a lovely and somewhat cold day away from home.

Sunset

I know for everyone in the flat part of the country this will not be a big deal but because where our house is in relation to the mountains we do not see many sunsets. We caught this beauty out our window and the kids and I just sat and stared for awhile.

Joshua turns 9!!

Joshua turned 9 on Nov. 1st. He wanted an aircraft carrier for his cake (no pressure). We had alot of fun and the kids have so much candy now our dentist will probably want to retire. Here's some pictures...

Halloween

This year we went to a Halloween carnival in New Castle. Always a great alternative to trick-or-treating. The kids had been up since 5am and seemed to lack some enthusiasm. I swear you can almost see them nodding off in some of the pictures. Joshua - King Arthur, Caleb - The Grey knight, Kate - Guinevere, Nathaniel - The Black knight (I"m invincible!", "You're a looney" - gotta love that movie)
