[Posted by Nick] In COLORADO, we make our kids work for their candy. Back in my day, Halloweens were habitually the day of the first or second snow of the season, and most of my trick-or-treating was done with the temperature below freezing and the snow falling. It built character. Now, with the weather 75 degrees and sunny this weekend, it was time for some other type of child character-building. So, the whole family piled in the car and drove to Lookout Mountain in the Front Range, which offers a view of all of Denver and, on a clear day, a view to Wyoming. (The flagship Coors brewery is also plain to see, for those of you who are interested). Here, in the high alpine environment and amidst the pines, we marched Luke forth dressed as Curious George up and down hills, over rugged trails and the occasional dry stream bed in search of free candy. And he was rewarded after a hard-charging 0.7 mile walk. I am proud to say that he was able to walk the whole way. Wes, on the other hand, needed to be carried the ENTIRE way. Perhaps, at 5 months, he truly is just a babe in the woods...

Darling pictures of you all! On our next visit, we plan to hit Buffalo Bill's grave. We LOVED Golden and pretty Clear Creek that runs through town. Have you visited Red Rocks yet? Loved that, too!
