Fall Adventures with Lewis, Clark, and a Pegasus












Tyler's Mountain Biking Adventures:
Tyler is becoming a great mountain biker! Shawn and Tyler hit the trails at Daley Ranch this weekend. We took the fall off from soccer to be able to try some new sports.

Addy's Made it to Level 2:
Addy is in gymnastics and just advanced to Level 2. I am so excited for her because I would have never passed Level 1 even if I took gymnastics my whole life. Yep, I can't do a cartwheel and my mom likes telling about how she tried to do a wheel barrow race with me when I was a kid. She says I just laid there and couldn't hold myself up. She compares me to a dinosaur with whoosy little floppy arms. Addy is the opposite of me and is amazingly athletic.

Lewis, Clark, and Sacagawea... I mean the Pegasus:
Tyler and Cole were the explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark respectively, for Halloween. Addy was going to be Sacagawea but changed her mind to become a rainbow pegasus. She assured the boys she'd fly ahead and be their guide for the journey. I made the boys costumes and Shawn and Cole built the cardboard canoe. The boys painted it. We had to strap the canoe on top of our van to get to Trunk or Treat at church. I loved seeing our funny shadow as we drove our cardboard canoe on the road as the sun went down.

Tyler and I carved a dragon pumpkin for Halloween. It was awesome!

Bates, Heise, and Geocaching:
We live by Bates Nut Farm and pumpkin patch. We love heading to Bates after school. We also head to William Heise to camp in Julian. We hit 4 geocaches in Julian with lots of cool junk in them.
