Durango Date

 Last Friday, we decided to sneak away with the two older kids up to Durango to see the beautiful fall colors. Caleb and Aubrie didn't have school and Brynley did so we took Carly to our babysitter Amanda's house for the day and made a date with Aubs and Caleb. It was absolutely beauitful with the rich golden, red and orange colors on the drive up through La Plata and Hesperus. Durango looked just as pretty. We had a yummy lunch at Steamworks. If you ever go have their Chop Salad. It has grilled Salmon, pepitas, dried cranberries, shoepeg corn, pearled couscous, tomato, with a gorgonzola vinagrette dressing. Its my favorite salad to get.  Then we took a walk/run down by the river about 2 miles and enjoyed the beauitful weather and scenery. It was nice to get away with Aubrie and Caleb. So often its a balacing act with four to kids to make sure everyone has equal attention and love from Mitch and I. They seemed to enjoy themselves and it was a nice treat to do something different.
