Saturday was the Halloween Hustle! This was the first year we've participated and it was awesome!! It's one of the Healthy Kids Club events and, in my opinion, the best one! If you're in the area and have a child who is 4ish or older, you have to check this series out. The kids get medals and prizes for running in different short races around the Fort Collins/Loveland area. They really make it so much fun and, the best part is, they're usually free!
Isabel and Milo showing Spencer their "running faces". Obviously, Milo's is WAY more than just a face. Notice Isabel's too big gloves. We were in a pinch and just bought some at the Dollar Spot at Target. Oops. Apparently, children's "one size fits all" does not include all. 
Spencer, Milo (who, after his "running face" picture refused to pose for any more pictures), Isabel, me and Kiana (my niece). The kids all did such a good job. This race was a full MILE!!! We took some walking breaks but ran most of it. Kiana could have totally smoked us--Tinkerbell crocs and all--but kept stopping to wait for the rest of us.
Isabel and Milo with just one of the fun FREE activities they provided after--a paint-your-own Halloween doormat.
Milo with the super sweet sunglasses he won at the fishing "pond". These have the fluorescent green sides reminiscent of my youth. 
Milo and Isabel helping Spencer to make "the biggest leaf pile ever ever EVER". Or so they told me when I got back from my run.
After the Halloween Hustle, we hit the last day of the Farmer's Market. We were too late to get any produce (huge bummer) but just in time to catch the tie-dye guy that we'd heard about from our friends Melissa and Laila. The kids each picked out their own shirt. Too cute. Now, we're officially tree-hugging-hippies.
I know this picture is hard to see--but hopefully not too hard. Isabel drew a picture of her and Milo yesterday that is SO cute and a pretty good likeness really. :)

i LOVE tie-dye!! they look so cute!
That picture is so perfect. She has a talent, that's for sure.
What a great idea to have a kids fun run...especially around Halloween time.
Issy's picture is priceless!
sounds like so much fun! Way to go kiddos in the 1 mile!
How fun for the kids. I love the door mat. I love the first picture of the kids. They are so funny.
Also, we made tie-dye shirts this summer and Colton basically wore one of the two every day. They are way fun and I think they are cute. Does that make ME a hippie too?
Going private. What e-mail should I use for you. Send me an e-mail and let me know.
wish we had as many leaves as you guys to play in. Ahh the joys of living in a mature neighborhood. My Dream.
