The first jump!!! 
Now Ollie's starting to get into it!!
So proud! He wanted to hold his pumpkin while we lit all of the other ones. 
And finally, the main event!!!! We went trick-or-treating in our friend's neighborhood. It was the type of neighborhood where they hand out the full-sized candy bars! It was jam-packed with kids and it was so fun to hang out with our friends! Here are the kiddos before we headed out...
Avery's favorite development over the last month is that she is now a member of a saddle club!!! We heard about it at Halloween with the Horses and signed her right up! It last for 3 hours on Saturdays and they learn all about horses. How to take care of them, groom them, feed them... and some riding!!! She loves it! This was right when we got there and she got to walk through that barn- as she did, all of the horses poked their little heads out... again... she was in heaven!!!
We were slightly early, so she got to meet Marshmallow before everyone else got there! They have high school and college kids that are the "trainers" and she LOVED her trainer!!!
Up next was Halloween with the Horses! As you can imagine, this is Avery's favorite event. She got to ride horses about 8 times, saw some cool horse shows, and got to go trick-or-treating through a barn! 
So Avery started off on a pony (above) and then moved to a full sized horse still lead by a person on foot (below).
And then, she felt brave enough to be lead by another person on a horse!!! I couldn't believe it! She looked so small and was so far away... who was going to catch her if she slipped off??! :) But she was in heaven!
Up next was Avery's Halloween parade at school. Here's Oliver and I waiting for the parade to go by.
In the parade!!
At the party, Oliver found some stuff to do. (urgh- what to do about that smile!!!)
It was a perfect day to get to the mountains! We had record breaking heat in Denver, so the mountains were in the 70's... aaahhhh... This trail was super shady, so I didn't get very many good pictures of the fam. I don't really understand how to get good pictures when the subject is shady, but the background is crazy bright. 
And then, of course, there is Oliver's smile to contend with.
But the scenery was pretty gorgeous! Avery brought her classroom stuffed animal, Lars, along for the hike. We had to document everything we did while he was with us, so this was for her project.
This was such a skinny part of the trail- where we eventually ran into some cows blocking the path! We made that our turn around point!
Exploring the rocks around the waterfall... our kids FAVORITE part of hiking. This actual hike was pretty unrocky and Avery was getting bored because she couldn't have 'adventures'!!
Then we started letting her go off the trail and she had a much better time!!!!
Yup, I was there too!
Gorgeous!!!
And then I snuck around him and sure enough...
Sound asleep!!!!
Then the grandparents came over and we had a present opening session with them. He has been such a happy little clam playing with all of his new toys! Here is his new smile on his new scooter!! It's not great (the smile, not the scooter).
Grandpa and Grandma Davis brought his present from Uncle Todd and Aunt Kristen...
Then it was party time!!!! He had sooooo much fun!!!!
Getting used to the bounce house with daddy...
It didn't take long before he was going crazy!!!!
Present time!!!!
Cake time!! We had a fire engine theme. This cake had some issues not falling over- but some licorice reinforcements and Grandpa Davis' expertise helped make it through the party!
Ok, here are the jumping videos!!! Avery was sore for 2 days!!! Oliver keeps asking where the bounce house is!! He thinks we own it!
I love the "ok, watch guys!!" He loves those neighborhood boys!
Avery turned into a crazy flipper in this one!!! Hence, the soreness!
