Tyler, Zac and I did some Halloween arts & crafts the Friday before Halloween

Tyler, Zac, Kelly and I made some "dirt cups" for Halloween.

Kelly, Zac and Tyler enjoyed some rides at Heritage Square when we went for our Family Fall Outing at the 3d Maze

I took the kids (teens, Harley and the little ones) to the mall for some Trick or Treating on Halloween afternoon. They opened a new play area there and I think they all enjoyed that more than the trick or treating.

What's better than taking the kids to the park?

Taking ALL five kids (plus one!) to TWO parks!!

Kelly's always saying "Tyler's MINE!"
Harley!
Robert....He really enjoys having younger siblings so HE can enjoy the playground equipment...even though he's too big for it!
BOO!
Kelly & Troy with Zachary

A "baby swing" that fits Robert!
My smallest sweetheart!
my younger gymnast!

A rare pic of all five together!

Happy (belated) Birthday to my sweet hubby!

He's the young ol' age of 46 this year...Tyler says "hey, you have a 4 just like me!"

His birthday was last week and we celebrated by going to Heritage Square -

it's been years since he's ridden the alpine slide...Unfortunately, they move so fast I wasn't able to get many pictures...

Enjoyed mini golf

*gasp!* Harley & Tyler sharing nicely!

Amusement park rides:



They had mini go karts for the little guys (but Zac was STILL too short to drive one himself :()

The ONE ride that Zac was able to ride :( Poor guy!!

Harley drove his own go kart!!!!

Tyler got to ride in one driven by Kelly:

And Zac was SOOOO upset they wouldn't even let him ride :(


Harley - JAILED!!

Tyler, Harley & Kelly:
Tyler....

Andrew had to create a rule:

June 2010....A busy month for outings, camp and more!

It's been a busy month so far. I am kind of bummed that the pictures I've been sending via cell phone to my blog aren't working :(

So now it's time for some picture overload....
June 1, 2010, we visited a park near Creative -


Rob & Tyler were hiding from Zac - but he found them!


June 3, 2010 - Andrew's Birthday! We went to Heritage Square and the Alpine slide...pictures from that outing will be in a different post...eventually!

June 5, 2010 - Triceratops Trail, Dinosaur Ridge, Golden CO, the Clear Creek White Water Park in Golden and Lions Park in Golden

It was a total of approxmiately a 1 mile walk in and back (round trip) through Triceratops Trail - Had never heard of it or been there before. They explained that this used to be a river bed and when the mountains rose, the dried up river bed turned vertical...the clay was mined out of it and they found these fossils and the "underside" of the footprints from the dinosaurs. Some of the places we had to walk down to, like this one:
(this is the view from the trail above)

See the "footprint?"

This area was discovered when they were building Fossil Trace Golf Course, so it overlooks the golf course....
One of the 'valleys' created when they were done mining the clay:

another footprint further down the trail:

a palm frond impression:

and then to the White Water Park -
the river was VERY high, VERY cold

A very young kayaker - about 8 years old and a PRO!

Mom & Tyler were the only ones brave enough to wade into the ice cold water with our feet :D

Lions' Park (the rest of the pictures are on my camera phone card, which is not available right now)...
Zac's favorite is the swings...he seems to be afraid of most slides...:(


June 5, 2010 in our own front yard:
My beautiful daughter plucked the first full blooming flower off our rosebushes
