Trick or Treating in California

Despite not being able to be at home for Halloween, we managed to have a lot of fun trick or treating in California! We went to my aunt and uncle's neighborhood and had a lot of fun walking around where it was warm and sunny - instead of cold and rainy in Virginia!
A power ranger, butterfly, witch and Aidan had a great time collecting candy!




Santa Monica Beach

Laurie is getting married and we are all so excited and happy to be in sunny California!!!  Emmy, Aoife, Declan and I went with Gramma and Daddy Jim to the beach today! Soooo much fun and amazing to feel like it's summer again!!
We had a great time and even went on the roller coaster on the pier!  We loved it!!

Apple Picking

The kids didn't have school today because of parent teacher conferences so we thought it would be a great day to go apple picking at Stribling Orchard with Gramma and Daddy Jim. We were definitely a little late in the season but there were still plenty of apples to pick! They were delicious and the kids had a great time eating apples right off of the tree. I love getting out of the hustle and bustle for a little bit - it was a very peaceful day out in the country!

Potomac Homecoming

Aidan went to Homecoming this weekend! He went to a lovely pre-dance party at one of his classmates' houses. After the dance the kids and parents were all invited back for an afterparty as well. A pretty amazing first Homecoming!
