Josh, Hailey and I got home from South Dakota yesterday around 3:00!! All 3 of us had such a great time visiting Grandma and Grandpa!! Josh's parents have a lot of land surrounding thier home and it makes for a great playground!! Hailey had so much fun riding the John Deer Gator around the house, flying kites, petting and feeding the horses, running around with the dog, swinging on the swings and hiking up and down the hills! She kept herself very busy!! My nephew Chance spends the weekends at Grandma and Grandpa's so it was great for the 2 of them to play together!! Chance showed Hailey the ropes!! Hailey fell in love with his parents dog!! She is quite the skeptic when it comes to big dogs and was shy around Kennedy at first but completely warmed up to him!! She was thrilled when Grandma and Grandpa said it could sleep with her at night!! I was quite shocked at how much she loved playing with him!! Hailey said that Kennedy was her bestest bestest friend!!
A couple of months ago Josh's parents home got hammered with softball sized hail so they have had quite a project on their hands!! They have been reroofing their home for the past 3 weeks and Josh jumped right in to help out!! I am amazed at how much they accomplised in the 4 days we were there!! Hopefully it will get done in the next couple of days! They got pretty lucky that the rain and snow never came as predicted.. However, the wind was out of control!! I had so much fun playing with Hailey and Chance, I have not flown a kite in quite awhile and it made me feel like a kid again!! We also had a great time with Vance and Jenny (Josh's brother and wife) and their 2 kids! We were able to go over to their house for awhile the last night we were there and visit with them!! Thanks Jenny for the glow braceletts!! Hailey loves them!!
It was great to get out of Denver for a few days and regroup before the crazy buzz of the holidays!! I cannot believe that next week is Halloween!! Hailey will be at our house that night so we will be able to take her trick-or-treating!! She is really excited!! We are happy to be home and we were welcomed with a blanket of snow in our backyard!! Looks like the cold weather is on its way!!

Great Pics!! Looks like you guys had a great time.. Looks so cold there something We aren't used to considering it is still hitting 90 degrees. Well anyways glad you are home safe and sound!!!
Hailey looks so happy! I'm glad you had a great time! I'm with Carley...burr! I'm glad you made it there and back safely. I know there were a few scares, but you lived to tell about it! The Giardino's property is beautiful!
The pictures are very cute. We're glad Hailey got to go on the trip with you and get reacquainted with Josh's parents. We're glad it turned out so well. The pictures are very cute and Hailey does look like she had a great time! We really are happy now that it worked out that you went to South Dakota and not San Diego this past week.....Hailey would not have had near the fun, but I think Sadie would have been happy to have her around.
Looks like you had a blast. Makes me want to go fly a kite today! :) And snow??? Seriously?? It is so gross how fast the holidays are approaching. I don't think I'm ready!
