Spending time outside!












We LOVE going for walks and are so blessed to live right next to the fairgrounds! The parks and walking trails in Castle Rock are amazing and so we try and use them whenever we can. Recently, we tried putting Ashley in the 'snuggly' and walking into town. At first she was not a big fan, but within a minute of being snuggled up close to daddy she was sound asleep! We had such a great time walking around the shops downtown, doing 'taste tests' at the farmers market, and having lunch. Ashley preferred the stroller on the way home and Matt made sure to see that Erin and Grandma kept up an impressive walking pace.


We also just tried a new trail that Matt had discovered next to the railroad tracks. It was a beautiful walk with some of the leaves changing color, and it led us to some interesting art. Who knows why, but in the middle of Castle Rock- right off of the interstate, you can find large painted cutouts that you can stand in, a bowling scene, and even a cereal bowl of fruit loops that has been tipped over. Hmmmm......
