Random Photos from the Fall

This is from our latest desert trip over Thanksgiving. It was so fun being able to ride with the kids. The girls were confident enough to ride on their own and so was Wyatt. The only trouble with the ATC is that his thumb would get tired so he didn't last too long. His Pappy was so patient following him around and taking him and Scotty for rides. It was probably our most fun trip yet. Thank goodness we had our trailer! Otherwise I think we might have frozen. It got down into the 20's at night!
Kirst at our trunk or treat the night before Halloween. We parked our van right next to theirs.
Our cute pumpkins!
Indiana Jones was at our van! ;)
We had a Tiger Lily, Superman, Pippy Longstocking and a cowboy (for the 3rd year in a row!)
Wyatt and his chums at his 5th birthday party. They had a great time in the Lovstedt's backyard with a treasure hunt, pinata and making some Halloween crafts.
Penny and Wyatt at their party. They share the same birthday, just a year apart.
Scotty with part of the pinata on his head and a sucker in his mouth!
Kids waiting for the pinata...
Indiana Jones (he even had his own theme music!) and Hermione Granger
Crossing the railroad tracks at Carpinteria with Gramma and Gramps. We went camping there for three wonderful days over fall break. Jeremy was with us for one night and a day and then my dad was there the other night and day. It was heaven. No crowds and gorgeous weather!


Wyatt enjoyed "surfing". Jeremy also started pulling the kids back and forth, skimming the water. He sure got a workout from that!


Big dork jumping off the lifeguard tower....

Studly guy!

Jeremy had all the kids jumping off the lifeguard tower and took their pictures. They had a great time trying to do karate and dance moves in the air.




Watching the seals next to the oil pier. There were a whole bunch on the beach that day.
Coming down the big hill at the pumpkin patch.

Scotty's cast the night before he got it off.
Else and Cristin at the apple farm in Tehachapi. Not ideal weather, but the kids had fun!

Cute Luke and Wyatt with their empty bags flowing in the wind!
