MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR!






We have been very busy and having lots of fun, I have a lot of pictures and updates! I LOVE Colorado in the Fall! And from these pictures you can see why. On Sunday, I took the kids to one of our favorites places that we have been going for a few years, The Happy Apple Farm in Penrose, CO. It is a cute, family owned apple and pumpkin farm, very rustic, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, they had an early frost and lost their apple crop this year, however, their pumpkins were looking good and we still had a great time searching for "The Great Pumpkin".
Since we were already down that way, I then took the kids on a drive to see the fall foliage which is in full bloom here. We took historic Phantom Canyon Road, which is part of the Goldbelt Byway, from Florence to Victor, CO, a historic mining town. It was so beautiful and Skyler thought is was pretty cool and took an interest in the history of it. The aspens were just starting to turn and it looks like we'll have another 2 weeks or so before they will fall. I'm hoping to get up there again soon before it's over!
