Trick Or Treat




So I am going to come out and admit it, I am not the biggest fan of Halloween, but I don't want to ruin all the fun for my kiddos so I let them do all the planning. This year Holliday wanted to be a ladybug and Lucia wanted to be Cinderella and as usual Asher wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Asher and Holliday were easy. We had all the Luke stuff laying, as Asher has frequently dressed up like Luke over the last few years.....not just on Halloween, but on any given day. Holliday's lady bug was easy too we just used dance wear and found some wings and added pipe cleaner antenna's and she had some ladybug shoes already. Lucia on the other hand.....we went looking and found the most adorable Cinderella dress at the thrift shore. We added a blue headband, glass slippers, pearls and long white gloves. We wore it for two days before Halloween all day long! Then, on Halloween 20 minutes before we are going trick o treating she decided her Cinderella dress is too tight and kind of itchy. Oh Lou, so she opted for some random fairy dress and wings. Oh well, at least now we have a full Cinderella costume for next week when she decides to be Cinderella all day long again. I love kids, everyday is a dress up day in our house. You never know when you might come by and find a monkey, a fairy princess, or a Jedi knight just hanging out!

It's gonna be a great year!

Time really does fly and I can't believe my sweet baby boy is in the first grade. We have a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Munizich. If every teacher were as great the world would be a differant place. I am sure of it!!! It is going to be a great year!

Strawberries and Cream

I love summer for so many reasons. Strawberries are just one of the many. Holliday and Lucia prefer theirs with cream and dessert is always best when shared with the ones you love.

A tree feel over in the middle of the night...right by our tent. Kids went out to investigate.




Aquarium fun!

I think we spent more time picking than hiking...






Much to the kids delight....there was a campsite visitor.


Bikeride on Scenic Drive.




Asher makes friends easily.







We needed SUN....so headed over to Camp Vanvelson..















Last week we packed up and headed up the one for some time together. We had a great time sight seeing and camping in Monterey. The kids LOVED the aquarium....but man was it cold. So, somewhat one a whim we packed up once again and headed over to camp VanVelson where we soaked up some sun and lounged by the pool.
