Allemans Visit

My sister, Becca, and her kids, along with Grandma and Grandpa Strutt, came out for a visit. We did a lot while they were out including a corn maze, Josh's football game, the Broncos Bunch trick or treat street, and ran a race. It was a busy weekend but filled with lots of fun and quality cousin time.

The trip started with an outing to the Chatfield Corn Maze. 

It is setup so you find six animals throughout the maze and then find the exit. We only found five this year. 

And lost Cora and Grandma halfway through the maze.

They also had a jumping pillow and barrel train.

 

I think the kids enjoyed the day. 

 

Here are some cute pictures of Esther since she wasn't in the other ones. This was the first time she met Uncle Joe. Thanks for visiting, Allemans!!

Heritage Fund Run

The boys enjoyed another successful fund run for their school this year. This year's theme was super hero. They got to dress up and had fun running laps, doing and obstacle course, and going down a bouncy slide. 

It was a great success for the school. Thank you to all who donated. It was greatly appreciated!

Broncos 7k

A race I had heard about last year but not in enough to register and run it was the Broncos 7k. So, this year, I decided it was something I wanted to run. I recruited some others to run with me. Kerry and her two girls and Daniel all ran the race this year. 

The packet pick-up was the day before. They had a few players on hand to sign autographs for everyone.

The day of the race we got there bright and early all dressed in our Broncos best.

The runners pre-race

One of the cool parts of the race was the finish. You actually got to run through the player's entrance tunnel and onto the field. The finish line was a the 50 yard line.  And it was all on the jumbotron. Very cool!

The finisher's medals were made to resemble the Broncos Super Bowl rings.

While we were all running, Joe and the other boys walked around the Health Expo that was being held at the stadium. They even got pictures with two of the Super Bowl trophies (the newest one was still getting engraved).

After the race, we got to meet some Bronco alumni and got more autographs. 

Steve Watson and Rick Upchurch

And tried on the AFC championship ring. (Notice my Broncos nails done by my niece). 

This is definitely an event I will do again!

First Days of School

It was the big kid's first day of school on August 8th and the little guy's first day of school on the 18th, so I combined them into one post.

MN Strutt's Visit

The Strutts from Minnesota planned a trip out to the mountains and we were lucky enough to see them on the front and back ends of their trip. There was a lot of fun cousin time hanging out at the house and a yummy breakfast at Snooze. 

Thanks for visiting, Strutts!!
