Denver, Fort Collins and Halloween and the Lion King

The future is not some place we are going to but one we are creating. The paths to it are not found but made. - John Schaar


The last couple of weeks have been jammed packed of lots of fun. It all started a few weekends ago when we took a family trip to Denver. We drove up there Friday night and stayed at Anne's place, a family friend. On Saturday we got up and headed off to Colorado Springs to go to the zoo! It was a great day. We saw giraffes. monkeys, bears and many other animals.

At the zoo!

That night we went did a bit of shopping then it was to Griff's. The best burger place in the world. I have never had a burger so amazing. If you are ever in Denver you need to go there :)

Mhhhhhh Griff's

On Sunday we went to Anderson Farms. It is a farm with a corn maze, pumpkin picking, animals and much more. It was a great afternoon occupied with getting lost in the maze, face painting and cotton candy.

The whole family :)

The next weekend was also very fun. Friday night Wray beat Yuma 36-0 in football. Very exciting considering Yuma are our rivals.
On Saturday Kristen, her family and I headed off to Fort Collins for the night to celebrate Kristen's birthday. We went out for dinner with her cousins Kayla and Greg. We had the most annoying, overly happy waiter. It was quite funny how happy he was. Then we went bowling. It was so much fun we laughed, took photos, sung at the top of our lungs and of course we bowled. Some were better then others haha :)

Bowling :)

High Five!

On Sunday I found out that the All Blacks had won the World Cup. It was a great way to start a great day. I couldn't believe we had won. Good work boys! You made New Zealand proud. So on Sunday we did a bit of shopping and gradually made our way home.

Victory!

I also have experienced Halloween. On Saturday of Halloween weekend we went to Old Town in Burlington. I went trick or treating for the first time in my life. Very exciting. We also went through a haunted house which was very scary. Thank you Anne for protecting me! :) That night we went to a Halloween party which was a lot of fun.

Trick or treating.

On Halloween we went trick or treating and we got so much candy. Halloween is the best holiday ever!!!!!

All our candy! I don't think we got enough :)

2 weekends ago the drama class from school plus Louise and I went to Denver to see the Lion King on Broadway. It was incredible. The show was amazing and I couldn't believe how incredible it was. It was a great weekend.

The weekend just gone I went to Goodland, Kansas with Kristen and Julia. It was a lot of fun even though we were in Kansas ;) Then on Saturday I went to my last football game. We sadly lost. It's hard to believe that there are no more games to go to.

We are in Kansas now!

Last football game :'(

As you can tell life has been very busy so this is just a little catch up on what I have been doing since I last posted a blog.
