Halloween 2010 Pics

I could give a play by play of our Halloween, but its pretty obvious. :) Shane didn't want to get into his costume at ALL - but as soon as we forgot about it and said whatever, he was willing to wear it. THEN HAD SO much FUN! He was an ADORABLE Buzz Lightyear! And Julia was the perfect lil devil! Watching Shane go up to doors, listening to his little voice say trick or treat, hearing him say Happy Halloween and THANK YOU to EVERY person - just melted our hearts.

Julia wasn't sure about the 'going up to houses' bit - but she did it and seemed ok after a few houses.

Lots of fun! :)

Labor Day weekend picnic

My mother in law's extended family had a picnic at a local park. Lots of good food & a nice time. :)

Santa Barbara Zoo Visit!

We drove to Santa Barbara today and it was the perfect day for it! 68F, blue skies, sunny w/a slight breeze - just perfect! (the ideal break away from our valley's blasted 105F) We learned quickly that we prefer this zoo over LA Zoo. It's so much easier to do with toddlers and almost all the exhibits are up close and personal. The icing on the cake was Shane got to feed a giraffe! Once we got back to the car, we drove around near the beach (the kids fell asleep almost instantly) w/the windows down just enjoying the ocean air and COOL breeze. A lovely day. :)
