Field Trip to the Science Center

Bry had his first field trip to the Science Center. Bug and I drove up there and met his class. They had so much fun watching a lazer show, Imax film and looking at all the exhibits.

A cold rainy weekend of fun!

We had a busy weekend even with the cold, rainy, windy weather. We headed up to the cabin to try out the kids new fun. We have been looking for a couple quads to play with when we stay up there and the weather is cold. The kids and the adults had a blast on the little quad. We also got to visit with Scott's parents who are back in town after being gone for a month, the kids were really excited to get to see them again. We also headed to my sisters for my mom's retirement dinner. The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins. They even got to see inside their uncle's police car.

Halloween week

So much was going on this week it was hard to keep up. Bug had a field trip and a Fall Harvest party, the twins had a Pumpkin night and a little Harvest party at school as well. Bry also had a party at school and Scott and I managed to squeeze in a date night. Since there is so much flu going around up here and we have to be extra careful with O we decided to play it safe and actually stay home for Halloween. The kids had a blast on Saturday, we made crayons in the crayon maker made and decorated Halloween sugar cookies and made chili before they went trick-or-treating and filled their buckets with candy. Here are some pics from the week. We forgot how much fun it was to be at home for a Holiday. Happy Birthday to Mom and Aunt Jean too!

Pumpkin Patch and Cabin

We headed off to the cabin again this weekend since we hadn't been there in a few weeks and went to the Pumpkin Patch in Union. We haven't driven through Union in a long time and saw some fun stuff from sea lions to some incredible beach front houses and resorts. We went to Hunter Farms and the kids enjoyed hay rides, corn mazes, hay mazes and much more. The kids were able to play with their cousin for a bit as well. They all carved their pumpkins this morning. The boys loved being able to work on their own pumpkins and the twins weren't too sure about the icky gooey mess all over their hands.

Disneyland in October

Disneyland 09 was a blast. This was the 3rd time for the older boys and the 1st time for the twins. The older boys LOVED going on all the rides, seeing the characters, decorations and parades. Bry went on all of the rides except California Screamin' (he wouldn't budge on that one) and Jaden went on every ride that he was big enough for. We tried to get him on the Indiana Jones ride but he was just a bit too short. We even got Aunt Jean on some good rides this time. The twins had such a fun time. Miss B was a little hesitant of the rides and didn't know what to think, she covered her eyes during all the scary parts. O absolutely loved the rides and was so dissapppointed when he wasn't big enough to go on one.

We haven't been to Disneyland during October before but it was so fun. The decorations were so cute and all the characters were dressed up in costumes which the kids loved. The fireworks shows and parades were all Halloween as well. We also got to attend the Trick-or-Treat party at California Adventure where the kids got to dress up in their costumes, trick-or-treat for candy and go on rides. They had a blast.

Our first day the weather was a little rainy but the park was less crowded so we hit most of the rides we wanted that day. The next two days the heat was back and we enjoyed all the water rides and the waterpark at our hotel. All in all, this was a super fun trip and the kids are already talking about going back in two years. Can't wait! I think we'll try October again for the next trip.
