One of our family pictures that didn't quite turn out, but at least the leaves were beautiful. We took this shot near Escadilla.

Jadyn and I rode the ski lift at Sunrise Ski Resort. Here is a picture from near the top looking towards the north.

I took this picture on our ride up Sunrise Mtn. Is was sooooo pretty!

Jadyn was having a great time! On our way back down the mountain, he was yelling, "Spongebob" to everyone passing us the other direction. He wanted to see how many people would actually respond, "Squarepants" - a lot of people did. Too funny.

Kaelyn loved collecting leaves that had fallen to the ground. This particular area was blanketed both above and on the ground with golden and red leaves - the air almost glowed.

Round Valley Elk's Homecoming Parade

Jadyn, Kaelyn and Camdyn sitting with their friend, Emma, waiting for the parade to begin.

Camdyn being a big 'cheese' for the camera. He was having a great time.

A large group of kids making the 'Elk' sign (Do the fans do this at football games? I wonder...). It was pretty funny to watch! It was interesting to discover that RV takes their football pretty seriously - they shut down Main street entirely, just like for the 4th of July, just for their homecoming parade. I have never seen this before. Being from Show Low, our fans were pretty loyal and enthusiastic, but this was new to me...

Jadyn's class made 'Elk' head-wear for the parade. He's a floppy, antlered elk.

Jadyn's First Day of Kindergarten

Jadyn started his first day of school in mid-August and was soooo excited! He woke up around 5:30 am and was ready to head out the door before 6am. It was torture for him to wait! When the school bus finally came and picked him up, he started squealing like a little girl - ha. The bus driver was laughing at him (I'm sure the first day of school was very entertaining for her!)
