Monday, November 12, 2007

On Saturday, Ian and LaDonne (Tom's twin brother and his wife) came to Monterey. Kelly (Tom's boss) has a sailboat and took us all out sailing on the ocean. It was amazing! I was worried about Addison getting sea sick, but he did great. He got to sound the horn as we left the harbor. He spent most of his time out on the nets with Ian. We saw sea otters, sea lions, and dolphins! There were about 6 or 7 dolphins swimming together and we could see their fins rise and fall as they traveled. It was a beautiful day, and the rained stayed away until we were almost back in the harbor.

Trick or Treating

OK - so apparently I took a lot of pictures of our Halloween activities.
Some friends from the ward invited us to go trick or treating in their neighborhood because we don't really have a neighborhood. We have neighbors, sort of, but it's kind of a hike to get anywhere where we live. It was a lot of fun. They had the perfect neighborhood. Addison has never made such a haul on Halloween.

Fall Festival

I was in charge of the Fall Festival for the second grade at Addison's school. We had about 175 kids and it was really crazy, but the kids had a lot of fun. Addison was Anakin Skywalker and his friend Nick was Darth Vader. We had a parade, face painting, cake walk, and lots of other games.

Trunk or Treat

On the Saturday before Halloween, our ward had a trunk-or-treat. First they had games and activities inside and then we went outside for treats. Addison had a blast. The last picture is Addison with his primary teachers, Brother and Sister King. He thinks they're the coolest - and they are.

Treasures We Find At Goodwill

We went to the Goodwill in Pacific Grove the other day and found some treasures. I got a Santa Cruz t-shirt and some running shorts and Addison found a C3P0 costume. Sure, it's a little small, but we had never seen a C3P0 costume before. I washed it 3 times and now he's wearing it as much as he can before it will absolutely not fit over his body anymore.
