The Portraits that I shot for this Gingerbread Festival was a fundraiser for CASA - an organization that assists children that are in the Foster Care system here in the Phoenix area.
Just before we left Colorado we helped the family decorate the house for Halloween - Tyler looked so cute in the Witch's hat and Ethan helped by putting all the pumpkins in the right places.
Every year -(so far) Ethan and I have shared our October birthdays together - this year we sang happy birthday at a wonderful Japanese Restaurant near their home - and then Ethan got a great Train Table set for his birthday gift this year.
The day started out drizzling but we were determined to enjoy the festival - well it cleared for 2 hrs. The sun came out long enough to watch Tyler have her face painted - Ethan chase bubbles - both go on a fun barrel tractor ride - Tyler play hula hoop (really well!) and even get a quick family portrait done ....
While Tyler was at school - we took Ethan riding around the Denver area and stopped at Red Rock Park to take in the view and beauty....
We bought a couple of bubble guns and Cheryl shot off bubbles while the kids chased the bubbles - Ethan had a blast chasing them while Tyler took turns blasting the bubbles with the gun.
While visiting Denise & Gary and the kids we went to watch the team that Gary coaches play a game. Because it was Oct (Breast Cancer Awareness month) - the players wore pink uniforms and they painted a breast cancer pink ribbon on the field along with a banner to support breast cancer. Good job boys!!
After the Evening Glow where the Balloons would light up the night - the Fiesta would set off about 40min. worth of the most magnificent fireworks we have ever seen.
