This week Grandma and Papa Colorado came out for a visit. We had a really nice time. We all went to the Pumpklin Patch together to play and picked out a few pumpkins. The next night Al made an awesome scallop and shrimp Alfredo dish. We were so full it was hard to move. Every night we stayed up late playing a domino game called Mexican Train. Before Halloween we managed to carve 6 pumpkins! We miss them already really look forward to going out to Colorado for Christmas.

A visit with Grandma and Papa Colorado
Pack 233 Family Campout
Last weekend it was time for the Fall BSOA family campout. The weather was pretty cold at night, but perfect during the day. They boys have such a blast. They hiked all day and ran around and played in the dirt. Kool Aid was available all day so it seemed like every boy had stained red lips all weekend.
Tie Day
It was Red Ribbon Week at school this past week. Every day of the week they were supposed to wear something or a certain color to show everyone that they are Saying No. Thursday was tie day.
Nanny turns 98!!
In the middle of October we headed to Lubbock for Nanny's 98th birthday party. The boys are getting better in the car during long drives. We managed to borrow another DVD player from a coworker of Brad's, which always makes the drive easier on everyone. Jean drove with us and she is a great help during the drive, managing the DVD player especially.
The party was fun and the boys got reunited with the cousins again. They played a lot with Kesley and Kinsley, which are Jean's siter's great-grandchildren. We did take a lot of pictures of Nanny at the hotel but unfortunately something happened (or someone got a hold of) the digital camera and they are now floating somewhere in space I guess. She (Nanny) was so happy to see the boys. Can you believe that Dominic is almost as tall as her now?
The boys love staying at hotels. They think that because they are not home that they can act crazy, jump on the beds, throw pillows, and bounce off the walls. We totally let them. The morning we left we had a big breakfast downstairs with all the great/aunts, great/uncles, cousins, nanny, etc. It was a tearful goodbye for everyone.
