Halloween!

It was another great Halloween!  We started the morning with a parade at the school.  All the kids looked great.  After the parade the kids got to watch their principal kiss a pig because they met their jog-a-thon goal.  The class parties were awesome and it was basically a party all day long!

Mac and Brad were great cowboys!  Their favorite part was the guns.  By the end of trick-or-treating Brad had shed all of his costume but the gun.  I think they wanted to be cowboys just so they could have guns. 

 

 

 

The whole gang before we head out trick-or-treating.  Lots of fun to be had!

Pumpkin Patch!

We had a great time at Pete's Pumpkin Patch.  Anna's girl scout troop was going so we decided to go at the same time and get our pumpkins.  We hiked all the way up the big hill!  We came home with some great pumpkins!

Mac choose his right away but then decided he could find a better one so he wouldn't have to carry it around for so long.

Soccer!

Anna and Mac both played soccer this year for the first time.  It was a great season!  McKay coached Mac's team and they had lots of fun.  Anna's team did great and she did awesome for her first year.  She liked playing defense the most and excelled at it.  Anna's team made it to championship day and took third place in their division.  Mac loved defense too.  He especially loved that he got a trophy at the end.  I think we are going to have all four kids in next year!  

Disneyland in October

We started out at California Adventure.  McKay waited for about 45 minutes to get a fastpass for the Radiator Springs Racers.  We met him at Midway Mania - one of our families favorite rides.  We then went back to Disneyland and then came back to CA because our fastpasses weren't valid until 8:20pm!  Crazy what we do to go on rides!
 

 

The boys wanted to wait to meet Tigger - we have never waited to meet characters before.  They were a little shy at first but eventually got close enough for a picture.

Mac and Brad love the Winnie the Pooh ride.  Mostly because it means they don't have to go on Splash Mountain. 

Another thing we did this time was visit Tom Sawyer Island.  Everyone loved being able to run around and play - it was a great way to break up the tedium of standing and waiting in line all day.

 

 

 

 

Eventually we made it back to Radiator Springs!  We were super exhausted at this point so it was our last ride of the day.  It was fun to go on the ride at night.  It is a very cool ride but I think we are done planning our whole day around it.  This was our first time at Disneyland we had a little bit of rain.  Not too much though.  Carly, Anna, and McKay took the panchos on Grizzly River Run but Carly's pants were still soaked.  Luckily she was able to wear Mac's shorts we brought in case he was too hot in pants.  They were good sports about getting wet but it was a little chilly - I think we are done with the Grizzly River Run until it gets wramer.  Till next time!

Jog-a-thon; Go for the Gold!

It was another great Jog-a-Thon!  The kids love getting their new T-shirts and running around the track.  We had sooo much fun watching the Olympics in London this summer.  Every night we would stay up way too late and watch it.  The Gold Jog-a-thon theme was a perfect fit!

 

 

 

 

Brad loved spraying everyone with water.  After 5 years of JAT's we FINALLY remembered the spray bottle!
