Feathers From The Nest: October 2010

October started off with a hike in the Pleasanton hills on a beautiful day. The grand kids kept us moving!

Nathan, Memor and Jason

I tried to get the boys to lay on the ground but they wanted to do pile-on!

Who can make it to the top first? Not Memor or Papa.

We were trying to hide from Memor in the long grass.

As we hiked back there was a flock of turkeys off to the right in the shadows. They would let us get very close but the boys were ready to throw rocks at them if they came close.

October is always Blue Angels month with Fleet Week in San Francisco. We enjoy going over every year and this was no exception. Lunch at Boudin and a great show afterwards!

The Blue Angel model planes are always a hit

Waiting for them to come back.

The sight is always one to capture your attention.

This is the pier we watched from.

With Halloween coming this month you have to visit a pumpkin patch. We had Jason for his first official sleep over at our house and went to the pumpkin patch first.

Trying to hide from Memor.

The tow truck driver was not in a hurry to tow me back to the shop.

Which one is the Great Pumpkin??

Looks like a great big hug for Memor.

How did Mickey get out of Disneyland?

Can you find Jason?

It was a fun day of hide and seek.

Alway good to sit down and rest a bit.

We had a low key celebration of Andrea's birthday but are so grateful for her and her family. Looking forward to another great year.

I think some people can't wait to blow out the candles.

Opening presents is always fun.

Of course we had to have some games in the garage for the kids. This year the theme that Memor came up with was some of the "Minute to Win It" games. Lots of fun.

Alli, Jay and his kids Jayla, Brodie and Jaxson went to the maze and pumpkin patch and we tagged along. It was a lot of fun for us and there was even a break in the rain so we could enjoy it!!
