Aunt Deb Visits

 quinns usual position hanging out with Buster.

 

 

 Buster loves rolling in the front yards dead grass.

 

 

 Emma and Quinn loving the lowtide at Torrey Pines State Preserve.

 

 

 Pretty view.  We saw a huge group of Dolphins, but didnt get the shot.

 

 

 Deb enjoying the 70 degree days in November.

 Deb, Emma and  an Ankylosaurus.

 

 

Emma and I saw a rainbow yesterday on our morning walk around the block.  She said "rainbows make me sooooo happy"

Uncle Matt's In Town

 We did a walk for NF this weekend (or otherwise known as a walk for Terri and Avery).  My brother Matt came over from Phoenix and Buster even got to come!

 Quinn on the playground after the walk.  It was in a nice park right on the water.

 Emma rode her bike for the walk.

New T-shirt.

 Matt and Quinn playing on the I-pad snuggling on the couch. 

 Matt and Buster snuggling on the couch after the race.

Had to crop two pics together to get one decent one of all of us. Looks funny, but it works.

Witches, Monkeys, and pumpkins

 Quinn was a monkey for Halloween.

 We went to the Wild Animal Park for the first time.  It was really cool.  There was a baby elephant and they had vast areas where the animals all run around amongst themselves.

 These are the rhinos gaurding their hill.

 Emma sitting in a nice big comfy chair at the Stone Brewery.

 Before the trip to the Animal Park.

 On the way home.

 We rooted hard, but the Tigers just couldnt pull out a win in the World Series.

 This is at the zoo.  There is a swarm of bees on top of the rock by the oranguatan.  He was playing with them.

 We never get to see these mini hippos at the zoo, this time they were there and a monkey was riding his back.

 She's a witch.

 Emma liked sitting on our stoop handing out candy better than walking around the block getting candy.

 Quinn joining in the fun.

 Aunt Kiki came over to go trick or treating.

 Quinn at the Childrens museum playing the drums. She's a natural.

 Playing with clay.

 Another natural.  Climbing up the wall.

Funny wobbly chairs.

 She is teaching me a trick and saying "Abracadabra"

 Quinn is digging playing in the box and obviously not reading upside down.

 Emma has been looking for dinosaur bones in the front yard.  So far she has found two dimes, a few screws and some other randomness.  No bones, but she is positive and says, 'not yet'

 Cruising on the bike while walking Buster.

 Quinn is loving "helping" walk Buster.

 She stops and picks up leaves, flowers, etc.

 Our first pumpkin carving.  Emma wants to be a witch for halloween so we looked at some pictures and it turned out pretty good.  Too bad it is October 18th and it is moldy and shrinking, guess that is why we bought 4 pumpkins!



 Emma has made this box we brought home from Costco into a boat, a car, and now a hiding spot while playing hide and seek with Buster.

 Emma picked a whole bag of passion fruits from grandpas yard.  Mmm.  They are yummy.

 Cousin Becky was in town for work so she stopped by for Sunday dinner and a beer.

 This is the place we take Buster to the beach to swim.  The tide was out so it is more like mud.  Quinn and Emma love digging in it.

 She made a mud hole and is sticking her toes in it, maybe a surfer in the making?

 Everyone is having fun.
