October 2013: More autumn fun!

Our cub scout den was scheduled to do a moonrise hike on Friday evening, October 18th, and only one of our scouts was able to come--Gabriel Zavala. He was bummed that none of the other boys made it, but he LOVED this den activity. It was cold out, but it was one of the BEST field trips ever!

Sebastian got off of work early and brought Jess and the boys on the hike with us. We all had a great time watching the moon rise over the Sandia Mountains, and eating a picnic dinner in the cold wind.

It's almost time!
The moon was small, but it still peeked out and made an appearance
The moon rose rather fast against the hazy horizon
As the moon rose higher, we watched the colors in the sky change from blue to pink to purple

Keeping an eye on an active 3-year old is constant work!

On Saturday, October 19th, the Dunlap family joined me and Jennifer Ensz on a visit to Los Poblanos farm in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. The best part was watching Hudson with the farm animals. The gift shop was fun too.
