More videos of us playing in the snow

We went out to play in the snow while it was still daylight today to get better videos. There is a video of each of us jumping in 2 feet of snow and then burring each other in it. Enjoy watching all four (they are short). We love it!

Videos: Playing in the snow!

It has been snowing since 8pm Tuesday night and the news says it won't stop until around 6pm tonight (Thursday). Schools were closed yesterday and today, so we were able to close. We have really enjoyed the time off! Last night, we went out and played in 23 inches of snow (yes, almost 2 FEET). The videos below are two short clips of each of us running and jumping in the snow. They are kinda dark becuase it was late at night, but you can still see how much we sunk in all the snow - SO FUN! We will probably go play in it today while it's still day light to get better videos/pictures. I'll post more later on tonight of all the snow piling up.

I carved a pumkin... for the 1st time ever!

We went to a Pumpkin Patch today that benefited Habitat for Humanity. It was my first time buying a real pumpkin and then carving it. What a fun experience!

Our pumpkins (yes, it was SNOWING!)

Thomas was the expert that had done this before

I found the "guts" to be disgusting (eww, eww, eww!)

The carving result!

Corn Maze!

Colorado's Fall (TRUE Fall) is so fun! Last Sunday, we went to a Corn Maze. It actually is only open September & November. They actually plant the corn to grow like the map below instead of plowing down the paths. The first time we went through the maze, it took us 48min, even with a map! The second time, we didn't take as many wrong turns or dead-ins and it took us only 22min. It was a lot of fun!

This was the map! The black lines are the paths, the green around the path was all corn.

It was over my head.

The paths...

Owners for a year!

Today, October 6th, is our 1-year anniversary of owning My Gym Arvada! We had an anniversary party last Friday night to play games & have ice cream (called it "Mymo's Birthday" - Mymo is the My Gym monkey). The members really appreciated us giving back to them, and we appreciated them celebrating with us! We also hand-wrote 23 thank you notes to the families who were here over a year ago, stayed enrolled through the transition of owners, and are still enrolled today. Those 23 families have been especially supportive of us!

Us serving Ice Cream - vanilla or chocolate with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, cherries, sprinkles, M&Ms, gummy bears!!!

Casey & Jessie - one of the families who have been enrolled over a year.

I asked them to smile, but I'm not sure where they thought I was.

The 9 year old on the right wants to work at My Gym!

We had even more than this attend, but these are the families who were able to stay until the end (7:00pm). I'm still laughing at Wyatt, the boy in the front row 3rd from the right, with his finger up his nose.

One Year in Colorado

October 3rd, a year ago, we landed in Colorado to stay. This past year has had it's ups and downs with the business, but it has been amazing! Even with working 6-7 days a week, we still have been able to do a lot around the state to experience all the seasons. Our first day of owning My Gym was on October 6th, so I will try to post pictures from our anniversary party soon. Here is an album of Colorado pictures taken throughout the past year. Enjoy the 181 photos of the snow through the Fall-leaves (the beauty is worth looking at them all)....
