Wishing Star Farm

Our family took advantage of some gorgeous Colorado fall weather and took a short drive to a nearby farm. It was a perfect morning spent outdoors together, and being on a farm made me realize how far removed I am from that way of life. Are pigs always so HUGE? Wow.

 Okay, so this farm has a camel. 




 The pig is in the background - I should've gotten a better picture of him.





 Go Daddy! Fun on the slide.



 Way cooler than a sandbox.

 Ben's version of Where's Waldo. I do wish the pumpkins were actually in a patch, like the old days at Venetucci.

Colorful Colorado - with kids!

Fall is a spectacular time to live in Colorado! How wonderful it is to jump in the car on a whim and drive to see the elegant aspens changing. One morning Ben and I decided to join Daddy as he met with a family to do a portrait. Getting out of the house and into nature was so refreshing and inspiring we decided to do it again with Bree the next weekend, however one week later meant a foot of snow!












a special birthday

We recently got to celebrate a very special birthday in our family. Cousin Eva is 1 year old! Eva got to open presents and after dinner she shared a very cute Hello Kitty cake with us. Eva loves cake! Happy birthday baby girl - we love you.
