Halloween

The boys had a great month of October celebrating halloween. Logan went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch, he was so excited to ride the school bus. I didn't go because siblings were not welcome, he did great by himself. I went on Dylans field trip to the pumpkin patch, we love Farmer bobs!

roarrrrr!

My most favorite part of Halloween was after Logans parade, the classes from k-5 piled into the multi purpose room because it was raining outside. All the kids performed the dances they had been learning, it was like watching a flash mob. Logan always the shy kid, clinging to my leg, I watched him do all the dances never once looking for me! So cool

Kinder Start

Logan started kindergarden at the end of August. So far everything has been going well. He has really gained a lot of confidence and just loves school. We love his teacher and the school!

Big Sur Camping 2014

We were able to get a last minute reservation at Pfeiffer big sur state park. It was such a beautiful camp ground and we had a great time. We camped with two other families with kids of similar ages.

Dylan loving the binoculars the whole trip

Swimming Fun

The boys just finished the last swim blitz of the summer, we did 6 weeks of daily lessons throughout the 3 month summer break. They love lessons, and did so amazing through the summer. Logan started and ended the summer in level 3, and Dylan started in level 1 and ended in level 2. Here is a video of Dylan learning his roll overs, you can also see Logan in the corner getting help with his breaststroke kick. And a video of Logan learning side breathing and backstroke.

Cousin Camping 2014

The boys had a great time camping with cousins this year. We camped at Portola Redwoods. It was such a beautiful camping area, the redwood trees area giant. The kids were dirty and happy! We camped with my cousin and her two girls, and my cousins sister in law with her daughter and my aunt. The kids were so happy to play games, crafts and eat s'mores.

pictures with a flag I got on sale after the 4th. I think we need a Canadian Flag! Grandma June??

All the cute kiddos

kids found a banana slug

We took a day trip out to Pescadero. It was so clear and beautiful, but SO windy. The wind was so bad the sand was beating us down. Kids were crying. We had to leave after about an hour. I wish we could have hung out longer!

Back at the camp the kids loved the art supplies I threw into a bin.

The kids really wanted to sleep an extra night, but the adults were done. Camping with kids is a lot of work but its worth it!
