Travelog for: Chocolate Moose

Hi Mom!
Today we all got in the car and drove to the Pumpkin Patch! Darcie said we can each get our own pumpkin for Halloween so we start looking to find that special one!!










We pick out our pumpkins and take them back home. We start putting up all the Halloween decorations!!





We put cobwebs on the rose bushes...dont they look scary!!


We see a spooky cemetary that only comes around in the front yard during Halloween




We hang up all the decorations on the front porch.  We like the witch that moves up and down and the dancing skeleton.


Here we are with the candy and toys that we will hand out on Halloween.  This is my other host Steve and he tries to scare us with his Saw mask.  The Saw mask is very real looking and Darcie's dogs hate it lol




well that is all for now! we are going to a Halloween cruise in with Darcies car club today! It should be lots of fun!

Love
Chocolate Moose

Hi Mom!
Today is Halloween! I am getting everything all ready for the trick or treaters that will come to the house.  We watched scary movies last night.  We saw *The Shining* *Carrie* and *Christine*.  We also made Tandoori chicken last night and carved out our pumpkins!!  Here are the photos!

First we start by cooking the black beans.



Next we get the Nan bread already to go in the oven.



Here we are cooking the rice.



Doesnt the chicken look good? This is one of Darcies favorite foods and it is a shame there are no Indian restaurants in this town!



Here we are with the completed meal...yum!!



After dinner we all go outside to start carving pumpkins.  Here we are ready to go!






First we pick out a design to carve our pumpkins with.



Next we get our special pumpkin carving tools.



Here is our finished pumpkin! Do you know what it is??





Today has been really fun and we are waiting for it to get dark outside!!! Happy Halloween mom!!

I was watching football last night and after the game Darcie told me that I am going to travel to Colorado!! I am so excited and I tell all the other TVs!! I promise to write to them and will see them again in my travels.

Today I arrived in Ft. Collins, CO. It sure is cold here today! I guess I just missed the warm weather by a couple days...I sure hope this cold snap ends soon!

I also got to meet Pixel the cat. I'm not too sure what she thinks of me yet. Oh well, I'm sure we'll become really good friends.

I'm going to rest up from my trip - I hear I get to see Denver International Airport tomorrow! I can't wait!

Today we went to Denver International Airport to pick up Daghain's boyfriend. It was VERY cold (14 degrees fahrenheit!) and dark. Daghain forgot her camera, but got this picture with her cell phone. You can see the top of the airport building in the background.

Today I got to go to work with Daghain. She works in a factory that makes cardboard boxes - many things you've bought in stores come in boxes her company has made.

Here is the outside of the building.

Here is Daghain's office. She works in accounting. On a clear day, she can see the mountains from where she sits at her desk.

Ft. Collins is in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. You can see them in the background, although it's a bit cloudy today so they're not really clear.

Wow, snow! Moose love snow so I was particularly excited when about six inches fell over the weekend. This morning, as I rode to work with Daghain, it was falling again. There was supposed to be another six inches or so, but it stopped this morning. It's been VERY cold outside, though! Hopefully it will warm up a bit so we can go outside and look around some more.

Today we went downtown for some Christmas shopping. Here we are coming into town towards the mountains.

Here we are downtown - the Christmas lights are pretty and the buildings are pretty cool! There's some cool statues in Old Town Square and a small skating rink too!

Snow for Christmas! It snowed last night, and we got quite a bit. Look!

By afternoon, the pavement was pretty clear, but there was quite a bit of snow - look at the chair behind me in the second picture.

Oh boy! I heard today that I am going to Australia! I'm so excited! I've had a lot of fun in Colorado, and I'm looking forward to meeting my new host! Wish me luck on my new adventure!
