Corn Maze, Soccer and Leaves

 The boys and I spend our Sundays getting out of the house while the Broncos are playing.  Last week, Greg took Luke to the Bronco game, so Ryan and I got to hang out and get frozen yogurt and watch a movie.  The week before, the boys and I went to see Finding Nemo in 3D.  As much as I love that movie, I've seen it at least 50 times in the last 4 years - so the 3D thing wasn't all that special.  But it was a fun outing.  Today, we headed to the Corn Maze at the Chatfield Botanical Gardens.  We had a great time.  The four of us went 3 years ago when the boys were 3.  We didn't have such a great time then.  The link to those pictures and a precious video of them running through the maze is here  This time - we printed out a larger picture of the maze before we left and we made it through in about 30 minutes. Afterwards, Ryan and Luke enjoyed some kettle corn, lemonade, and some candy corns.  I'm not sure what will be on our agenda for next Sunday, but we'll figure out something.  I know that Luke really wants to see the IMAX movie Space Junk at the Nature and Science museum - we'll have to get on that soon before it leaves.  A day at the zoo and an IMAX movie sound like a great idea - hopefully our nice weather will continue for at least another week.

 We are also back in soccer this season.  Although our children as still far from being any good - they have improved a great deal over last spring and they are still having a great time playing every week.  We've been impressed with their improved stamina and their determination to at least stay with the pack and attempt to kick the ball more than they did a few months ago.

We all went up the mountains last weekend to see the leaves and get some pictures.  I have an idea to get at least 4 good pictures of mountain scenery over the 4 seasons with my new camera - and then blow them up on a stretch canvas to put in our basement.  I'm not sure how they will turn out yet - but it has been fun to take pictures.  It was a beautiful day and we went through an area that Greg and I have never been to before.  The boys had a pretty good time, but I should have brought some snacks along with us.
