Fall in Twin Lakes

We've had the privilege of enjoying the past two fall seasons at our cabin in Twin Lakes.  The colors are exceptional and usually the aspens peak mid to late September.  Both years we have taken August out to Trick or Treat Street in Leadville, about a 15 minute drive from us.  It is a really special place for younger kids to trick or treat, as the roads are closed off to cars, and all of the old Victorian homes are decorated with ghoulish delights.  Here is a look back at some of my favorite pics from last year, and new ones from this year.

A one of a kind Leadville experience.

A late night dinner after trick or treating is becoming our tradition!
Mount Elbert Forebay reservoir- we walk down here pretty much every day we spend at the cabin.

Finally the freezing temperatures helped convince August to wear his lion hat.

I wonder if August will still insist on helping me with the dishes when he's a teenager?
