That night we went to a haunted house at DSST. It was awesomely scary! Mom walked through with the three of us & Dad walked through with Ben, Abby & Abby’s friend, Marlo. We waited in line for a long time & the haunted house was really short, but it was long enough for us.…

Another typical Saturday, running around to different soccer games. They overlapped again. We also went the Cherry Arts Festival at Stanley, which was super fun. I made this candy skull & they put it on the side of the building. I don’t know how long it will stay there.

We left Mesa Verde & headed for Durango where we spent the night. We ate a delicious dinner at Chimayo & stayed at the Double Tree. Tuesday morning we woke up & hit the road again not sure where we were headed. We passed this gorgeous waterfall along the way.

There was a Park Ranger on the other side of the sign & she offered to take a photo of us. Caden is still in his pajamas, but we thought it was a pretty nice picture. This is a rare occasion.
