The Duplesys Family: Happy November!

Well, the end of October in Colorado was just wonderful! I was able to take my mom to the Colorado National Monument. It is just a beautiful spot, somewhat of a mini Grand Canyon. The weather was wonderful.... in the 70's probably. It is a 23 mile loop from the check in station... winding curves and steep drop offs... but the scenery is well worth it. Mom really enjoyed seeing such a phenomenal part of Colorado. I would post more pictures, but they just don't do it justice. You all just have to come visit to see it for yourself!

Of course we enjoyed Halloween with the boys and Isabella and our friends. Growing up, October 31st always was a fun day for me. In our neighborhood, all the adults would get together and put on a ghost walk in the woods for the kids. We always enjoyed cider and donuts as well as the scariest ghost walk ever! From creepy dudes jumping out of coffins (we had a neighbor who worked in the medical field who got real coffins and skeletons) and lasers for light shows (thank you to those who worked at Ebtec, the laser company) to REAL black stallions for the headless horseman...(our neighborhood put Disney to shame)! Halloween always was a night of fun and family foolishness! This year the boys looked great...Cole as Gene Simmons from Kiss, James as the Joker from the "Black Night" and Jesse as Indiana Jones, it was a fun night walking with the kids for treats, seeing the great decorations and visiting with friends at the house. The leaves are just about off the trees and the cool weather is upon us. Fall is great! The boys (all 4) went hunting this weekend... rest assured all of you who are agains that...Bambi was safe... no trophy yet. Maybe we will go vegetarian this year! Happy November to all our friend and family!
