Halloween

Happy Halloween!
Yesterday we celebrated Halloween by going to a couple of parties. In the afternoon we went to a Halloween party at a park. After that we got ready for our ward party. Our activities committee put together an amazing Halloween Extravaganza. The cultural hall was lavishly bedecked. We had a hot dog/chili dinner followed by a carnival complete with a bounce house. The carnival had about ten stations run by each of the ward auxillaries. After the carnival was the trunk or treating in the parking lot. Fun, Fun, Fun for the whole family!!

Underwood Farms

We've had fun in the last few weeks doing some fall activities. The other day we went to the Underwood Farms with some friends. In the fall the farm adds extra activities for the kids to enjoy such as a corn maze, pumpkin patch, tractor rides, etc. We had a great time!

Haircut and Glasses

The other day A cut a small chunk of her hair off to about her shoulders. Instead of cutting all of it off to her shoulders, I decided to layer her hair and leave some of the length. This is what she looks like now.


I took A to the pediatrician and they said that we needed to have her eyes checked because she wasn't focusing right. We took her to the eye doctor and found out that she needs glasses. We let her pick out frames that she liked and she picked out purple frames. :) She looks cute in her new glasses!

Videos

Here are a couple more videos of A riding her bike and swimming across the pool using her arms. She wanted to swim across the pool without taking a breath.

Disneyland

So we went to Disneyland a couple of more times the past few weeks. Our annual passes are about to expire, so we thought that we'd better go a few more times before they ran out. We probably won't get another annual pass for this next year. Not only did they go up in price by quite a bit, but we don't think we'll have as much time this year to take advantage of them. When we went last Thursday, the temperature was around 100 degrees and we were excited to ride Splash Mountain. 5 days later we went again and it was 60 degrees and raining. We were a bit cold. The lines were short, so we rode quite a few rides, but the warmest ride was Pirates. There was a rush of warm air that met us as we walked into the building. It felt really good.
There is a new light, fountain, color show at California Adventure called World of Color. It is quite spectacular! They have dancing fountains and lights that add a visual effect to the music. The fountains create a lot of mist and in the mist they show pictures that go along with the music being played. You have to get a fastpass at in order to get front row seats. We lucked out the first time and someone had passes that they weren't using and gave them to us. We sat in the splash zone at the very front. The other times we arrived at the park a couple of hours after it opened and the fastpasses were already sold out for the day. We watched it from the side but could not see the pictures. We could only see the fountains and lights.
