Pumpkin Picking

Hank headed off to Rock Creek Farm to pick his pumpkin straight from the vine.

He brought along his buddies, Luke and Maria. 

They were all on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin.

 After much searching, Hank found his pumpkin and sawed away at the vine.

After that, we were off to enjoy the bounce houses and the jumbo slide. 

They were also just starting to assemble a mini hay bale maze for the kids. 

Hank loved running and jumping on the bales.

 After one last photo op with his friends, it was time to head home. 

What an awesome morning!

Fall Hike with Friends

It's the perfect time of year to hike around Red Rocks, 

so we got a group of friends together and began our adventure.

From left to right (Isaac, Mira, Asher, Hank) . . . 

 We're so proud of Hank, too.

 He now does the entire 1.5 mile hike (with a lot of climbing) without needing to be carried. Yay!

First Fall Snow

Hank got his first taste of winter this morning. He had no complaints, whatsoever!

Bearded Boy

Hank grew a beard during bath time. Lookin' good!

From Sick to All Smiles

Four days ago, the crud hit Hank hard. Today, Hank's bad to his old self. Yay!!

Dads and Kids Camping Weekend

Hank got to go camping with his friend, Mira, near Colorado Springs. 

The dads were in charge and moms had the weekend free.

During the day, the kids built a really cool fort,

climbed huge boulders,

and finished up the evening with a great meal and campfire.

 Cheers to the dads and kids - what a great adventure!

Sukkah Building Time

Sukkot starts tomorrow evening, so we all headed over to CBE to help build the congregation's sukkah.

Hank drilled in screws, 

  secured beams, 

 hammered in nails,

and checked out all the other power tools.

After all his help, the sukkah was soon complete.

 Today we celebrated the joy of building with our CBE community. 

Tomorrow we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor as we all dine under the stars!
