Our dear friends, Eric, Emily, Mason and Madi came to visit us the last weekend in September. They are getting ready to depart for Africa in February and are starting to make their rounds of saying goodbye. We were lucky enough to spend a nice long weekend with them. Here are the kids minus Austin, at Garden of the Gods
After the soccer game on Saturday, we went to Cripple Creek to see the changing leaves on the Aspen trees. We took a train and got to see a lot of yellow leaves. By no means am I making light of the Colorado fall colors, but they really have nothing compared to Michigan's amazing red, orange, and yellow leaves. This beauty is completely different and completely amazing in it's own right. I put the pictures on here backwards, sorry. This is one of the many deserted buildings we saw on our train ride. I thought it would make a great picture. The ride was full of history of Cripple Creek an old mining town that made millions of dollars in gold back in the day. We saw mine after mine along the train trail and got to learn how much each mine made in its prime. It was very interesting and the kids liked riding the train.
Some of the beautiful scenery.
This was before the train ride.... Caleb wasn't feeling well after the curvy ascent...but he was a trooper

It was so much fun catching up with our friends, we will be praying for you guys, we love you and are super proud of the sacrifice you are making for the Lord!
