October is here!

It has been a week!
Had an amazing mini vacation with Jason at the Cliff House.
Ate at a bunch of new restaurants too.
Breakfast on Sunday was at a Crepe restaurant that served Gluten Free Crepes.
Unusual fare but the crepes were amazing. I just didn't know you could have so any different foods in a crepe.
I of course being chicken had strawberries and then asked for syrup!
Then for lunch we had Italian restaurant and they also had a GF Menu....
So I had GF spinach noodles with GF Alfredo sauce and chicken. It was amazing!

Saddest part is the weekend ended with a nasty flu bug.
Thought it might be food poisoning but nope it was the flu.
It is now Thursday and I am finally on my computer again,
And it is suddenly October!
Amazing how a little flu takes almost 4 days to recoup.
And then we get the call from school that Miranda isn't well.
So now the process starts all over. Poor kid.
Enjoy my trip pictures and check back soon for the Christmas Card class updates.

The tub!
Loved the jets and it was so nice to relax in this tub after a wonderful walk.


We took the Cog Railway up to the top of Pikes Peak
