Fall Scavenger Hunt

Yesterday our friends hosted a fall Scavenger hunt for the kids, complete with decorating your own found pumpkin. It was such a great idea and the kids had so much fun. Kendall was in school but Tyler had fun. When we got home he wanted to have one too so maybe next year we will get to host one.

Apple Picking Field Trip

Not sure anyone noticed or not but I've been a little out of commission lately. That's because my computer crashed and I thought I lost everything. Thankfully I didn't just some e-mails. Then my Blackberry crashed so it's been one thing after another. But hopefully I'm up and running again. So with no further ado . . . Tyler had a field trip to Tougas Farm for a little Apple Picking today. Kendall had to join in on the fun too because she didn't have anywhere else to go. So we read the rules, took a little tractor ride to the orchards and started picking. It was pretty cold out (like in the 40's) so it wasn't all that pleasant. We rushed through it then had some freshly made apple cider donuts for snack. (after our apples of course).












I thought we were going to do some pumpkin picking but they hardly had any and the ones they had looked horrible. Hopefully I can get us in gear to get someplace to pick pumpkins before they are all gone everywhere.

Hau'oli lā hānau, Tyler!

That's Happy Birthday Tyler!












We had a little Luau themed party for Tyler today. I just love that kids are so easily impressed. I did very little decorations but Tyler came downstairs and said "It looks beautiful!" Basically the kids played. They were able to dig in the sand for starfish, we had hot dogs, snow cones and cake.








Then we opened the gifts and boom party over. I have to say I was so proud of Tyler for saying "Thank You" to every friend as he opened the gift they gave him. I didn't even prompt him to say it, he did it all on his own. He was so gracious and the best was he got gift from a friend of a game he already had and he yelled with enthusiasm "Hullabulloo! I always wanted TWO!" He's really growing into quite the little boy, I love him so much. Happy 4th Birthday Tyler!
