Pumpkin Farm and an Air Show

It was a gorgeous day today here in Colorado – mid 70’s! Can’t beat that for October, huh?! Today we went and picked out our pumpkin at the Happy Apple Farm 25+ miles outside of the Springs. We had so much fun meandering all through the fields looking for just the right pumpkin for our table, walking around in the blackberry bushes picking and eating, and then taking a small hay ride back to the main area to pick up some fresh apple cider. We enjoyed the weather while we could.... we think tomorrow a cold front will be coming through. Bye bye warm weather!


On Friday, Jen tagged along with Mom Kelly to her weekly trip to the Commissary. Once they got inside the gate, they happened to see a jet practicing for the air show this weekend, so they sat in the parking lot and watched him practice for a good 15 mins before they went in and shopped. It was so much fun! Today, we all got to watch bits and pieces of the air show. We’d stop here and there, looking for just the best spot. We found one alright! But, just as our camera batteries died, THE BEST show of all happened (of course, right?).... one of the jets came sneaking up from behind, really low to the ground, and screamed over our heads. It was ear piercingly loud, and we almost felt like hitting the dirt, but it was also the best part of the whole day. We love air shows - they never seem to get old. Below are a couple of the many videos that we took today. Enjoy!
