Not sure how I can catch up but I am going to try.
The kids had crazy hat day at school. We made Hershey kisses hats out of funnels:
We went to Northern CA for a wedding the weekend before Thanksgiving. Bret was in Bob’s wedding and it was the kids first wedding ever. Bret had to get to Gilroy before us so he flew. I grabbed the kids out of school early and we did the long drive, The kids were awesome in the car. Seeing the kids all dressed up was great! They looked awesome. There were only 2 single boys at the wedding so Justin caught the garter, it was hilarious. The kids had fun dancing. Nikki didn’t want to leave the wedding as she was having so much fun dancing.
We spent about 5 days in Northern CA. Bret could only stay for the weekend. We did a lot in the few days. We went to the Jelly Belly factory. We all thought that was cool. We went to San Francisco but the day we went it was so unbelievably crowded. The next day we figured out how to avoid crowds and have fun. We rode the cable cars, went to the fortune cookie factory, went to the shopping center and the kids thought it was so cool to go up/down the curved escalators. We went to Foster City and looked around. We took a walk to the park we used to take Tracey too. It was cool to see our old house.
For the kids 9th birthday we decided to give them Disney passes. We finally made it to Disney three weeks after their bday. We got there when it first opened and got on lots of rides. Can’t believe the kiddos are 9 and growing up so super fast. I took a few pics but haven’t had much of a chance to edit. Here is a preview of their 9 year old pics:
