The first half of November brought some new firsts for our family here in Pueblo. With Grandad's expertise, he built a climbing tower for our backyard and put up a swing for both the boys and one for Ruth. I may have been more excited than the boys simply to have something for them to play on outside to get them out of the house, lol. The boys had a lot of fun helping Grandad and watching him construct our tower; Micah especially spent most of his time out in the backyard with Grandad. And once it was built... I could barely get the boys in the house for meals. They spent 6 hours in our backyard one day (divided into a few chunks of time because I made them come in to at least eat; too cold to eat outside!) playing construction and running around with a lantern after dark, lol. It's so nice to have brothers who play so well together! After construction was complete in the backyard, we explored a couple of new places in the area. One day we went to Aiken Canyon and hiked along a dry creek bed up to some red rock. Micah loved the dirt and Ezra refused to walk a step and got carried the whole hike, lol. Another day we visited the Pueblo Air Museum located on the edge of town by the airport. It was surprisingly big with 2 hangers full of airplanes, helicopters, and vehicles used in previous wars by our country. You could climb into a fair number of them, so we had fun doing that. There was quite a large exhibit outside too, but with temperatures below freezing, we decided to save that for a warmer day!
