Knott's

Last month we took the kids to Knott's Berry Farm. They had lots of fun riding the rides in Camp Snoopy. Even Michael was tall enough to ride almost all of the rides. There were a few that had a max height aloud to ride, but no minimum.
This was Michael's favorite, he called it the train, until he saw the real train. Still they had to do this one twice. It's fun watching them do things I remember doing when I was a kid.


I love this picture, Rhiannon riding the "big boy ride" heh.



Rhiannon and Dad paned for gold. She was very proud of the few tinny flakes they found.


Exploring the ghost town.
And we got to ride the train, Michael's favorite part.It was a little hot, but that just makes playing in the water more fun.

Halloween

Fun at bates Nut Farm.
Pony rides!





The Big Mac's.


They climbed around in the pumpkins, but they were not interested in the "normal" pumpkins, they liked the lumpy bumpy, different color and the little ones.










This year we again did Trunk or Treat at Misson Hills Church. It was fun that a lot of people recognized the kids by name from Sunday school and Rhiannon's preschool. Michael told almost every one that gave him candy "roooar, I'm a dragon".



Rhiannon the kitty cat.



They had lots of fun. Mom got tired walking them around, but they did not at all. A fun night..




.. that ended in WAY too much candy.










Michaels birthday, yes I am very behind

Michael had a fun birthday full of " choo choo's". It was in September, so I'm a little behind. That week was really hot, in the upper 90's, but the day of his party it cooled off. He had lots of fun opening presents and singing along with the birthday song.
And trying, and trying to break the pinata. We did not have a bat, or even a very big stick, and it was a super pinata or something. Mikey tried....
Uncle Donny tried...

Papa tried....



Rhiannon tried...



And tried....




Colin tried...





And Rhiannon again...



The killing blow was Uncle Donny's supper kick.




Ta da!



Mmmm candy. Michael had a lot of fun. 2 years old! How does this happen?
