Mattson's fall visit

The Mattson's came to town this past fall to visit the grand kids as well as take some meat home from the mountains.  Elk camp was a success this year and all were stoked to take their share home. While the hunters were in the mountains, Amy and the boys were blessed with Grandma Sandy.  We were lucky with beautiful weather, which mean lots of outside time.  In fact, we had two CSU games and a Bronco game during her time in Denver!  Thank goodness for lovely weather!

The Bronco game was a Thursday night game, which can be difficult if you have children.  Thankfully, Uncle Jimmy was willing to help out.  We took our kiddos tailgating and while Mom and I headed into the game... Jimmy took the boys to his house to watch the game from there.

On our way in, Mom and I got invited to join in tailgating with a few of the Bronco Super Fans, the Limo Driver and um... well... not really sure who mom met, but he looks friendly enough I guess. 

Since Elk camp was a success... the hunting crew made it back in time for the CSU game the following weekend!  It was another nice day out and we had quite the turn out from our group!

 

Sunday was Boo at the Zoo and the kids were jazzed!  They dressed up in their fireman and police officer uniforms they got from Santa a couple of Christmas' ago and we were ready to trick or treat!

Grandpa recently decided to get the boys into Archery... Some kids took the lessons a little more seriously than others.

It was an amazing, yet short trip from Grandma and Papa Mattson.  We look forward to our next visit together.  Watch out... Karsten has been practicing with his bow and arrow.
