Disneyland with the whole Family

Brian surprised Elisa for her 30th birthday with a trip to Disneyland with the whole family. She was surprised for sure and we all had a chance to be with Collin and his first time to Disneyland.









Collin's favorite ride was the Tea Cups. He liked Dumbo, too, especially making him fly up and down.

Brian's parents, Tom and Debbie were there as well as his two sisters, and then our family with Mel and Will and Dan, too.









The Castle and the entire park was all decorated in Christmas lights. It was beautiful.

Things We did this Fall

Joan has a helper in the kitchen with the dishes. I think he has more fun with the water than washing the dishes. Bedstemor and Bedstefar were here in August.

Collin has fun talking to Bedstefar. I am this big you know.









Joan's Cousin Helle and her family were here for a visit. We went for a walk in the National Park near by. Can you see our home from here.

Rain is such a surprise to us in California and when it comes, we go out and enjoy it.
Jumping in puddles and getting wet. Can't get any better.

Collin learns the fine art of baking... at least what us men can do best.





At our favorite Pumpkin Patch. We have been going to this same pumpkin patch for more than 20 years. Started there when Dan was Collin' s age.







We had our first Halloween away from our home at Brian and Elisa's this year. Collin was a little chicken.
At 18 months, Collin quickly learned how to take his basket up to a door, knock on the door, and hold out the basket for candy.
And then run to the next door with Mormor and Grandpa.








Then Collin helped celebrate Elisa's birthday.

Yummy yummy cake.
