Storyland!

Visiting Storyland in Fall is becoming a tradition for our family. Thanks to Groupon, we're able to spend an inexpensive beautiful Fall day at this great little amusement park!
 We always have to check out the geese and ducks during our pretty walk through the park.

 


 






 Charlotte's first carousel ride!




 We rode the train through the park. This is of course a highlight for both girls.

 Love, love these two! 



 Daniel and Morgan went on the below ride together. You can actually see them in the very bottom of the picture waiting in line. This is a pretty big ride for such a little girl. Daniel even kept making their little cage flip. Morgan is surprisingly fearless when it comes to amusement rides. Makes me oddly proud. :)
 This place is located in a beautiful park here in Fresno so I always pack a lunch for us to enjoy outside. 

 Happy girl!






So thankful for days like these. Already can't wait for next year!

Ballet Fun!

Morgan's ballet class got to do something special for Halloween. The parents were invited into the classroom to watch their little ones dance. 



Half way through the class, the kids got to dress up in their costumes. I completely misunderstand the teachers instructions and didn't bring Morgan's costume to class. Luckily they had tutus so I just threw one of those on Morgan. It turned out that she looked really cute and most importantly she loved it.
 







Company Picnic 2012!

In October, our family attended my company's annual picnic at Wonder Valley. October starts the busy season for our family. We stay extra busy through the end of December with company picnics and holiday parties, Halloween festivities, multiple birthdays, Thanksgiving and of course all the fun activities that come with Christmas! This year's move to a new house added an extra twist of excitement for us but we did it and couldn't be happier. 
Below, Morgan and Daniel "race" to the bathroom.



 Daniel got to play some baseball this year. I love watching him play sports. He's going to be so embarrassed that I'm saying this but he's so athletic and naturally good at every sport I've watched him play. I wish he could join a league of some sort but his work schedule won't allow it. 
 The girls and I relaxed while we cheered Daddy on! 

 Morgan is wearing my sunglasses. This was also the last I've seen of these glasses. Guess they got left behind...

 Sweet baby Charlotte.


 Trampolines! 
 This year didn't disappoint!  Daniel and I always enjoy our Sunday excursion out to this beautiful location to spend some time together. 
 This is a random picture of Morgan after she fell asleep on our bedroom floor. Morgan never falls asleep anywhere but her bed. Turns out she wasn't feeling well which explains the impromptu nap. Poor baby.
