Leo Carrillo State Beach

We decided to go camping for our time off for this Thanksgiving break. We had been invited by some friends to go along with them making it nine families in all. We had a blast, we learned a lot (this was the first time with no hook-ups for our motor home!) and the boys got the chance to hang out with their friends "exploring" . Oh they had fun!

It was a wonderful experience! We too enjoyed the company of good friends and some much needed relaxation away from the "city life"

Apple Farm

We had our annual Apple Farm trip this year. After a bit of a disappointment, our usual apple farm had no apples left due to the drought! The kids still had some fun at the village. Though it seemed as though at one time or another I always had a kid crying we did salvage out some good pictures!

Halloween

So this year the mom's decided to dress up for Halloween. After our boys all wanted us to dress us as Star Wars ladies we opted to make our own Hippie Costumes. We tied dyed our own tees, went to the salvation army to find some Nice skirts and then accessorized! I think we looked great!

as for the kids... wow the energy level was high. We had pretty much all Star Wars.. all the boys were one character or another and we even had the cutest little Yoda ( no not Ryan, our friends daughter!) Ryan was a Chicago Bear football player of course!
