Walt went hunting so I booked a flight to California
Well I asked Brooke if she wanted to go first then she booked
flights for all of us
I went over to Brooke's and rode to the airport with her
Ellie's preschool had a pumpkin carving night
The pumpkin had to be cleaned out before coming
to the carving
I entertained Pete
While Chris did the carving
Then snacks of course
Good looking snacks too
Pete was clapping at the singing
Tried on the costumes to make sure they fit
Ellie is Blue from Blue's Clues
and Pete's a shark
or as Ellie tells everyone
Pete the Cat Destroyer Shark
We made time for a Fall walk on our path
Ellie took this picture
Then the airplane ride
And Amy's house
We destroyed that too
Games were played
Claire fixed my hair
We went to Cade's baseball games
Claire kept score for a while
Cade at bat
Andrew had his 40th Birthday while we were there
The baseball team celebrated with
plates of whipping cream
Poor Andrew
They really got him good
We went down to the public library for some pics
of the cousins
They have a nice backdrop there
and fun things to climb on
Getting so big
And then Halloween
Dracula, Blue, Granny, and Shark
Pete gets himself into some fixes
Reading with Claire
Another ball game, they won 3 out of 4
and they are playing up in the 12 and under
league. They were winning all the games in 11u
Claire and Ellie opted for the playground
She's her mother's daughter
Back home at play with cousins
No we didn't go without taking LuLu and Bob
Cousin hugs
A family that brushes together....
Back on the plane and heading home
It was a fast, fun trip
Thanks Amy, Andrew, Cade, and Claire!!
