We had a great time taking the kids to Orange and Blue Madness on campus. There were games, blow up jumpers, small rides and club booths along with a DJ, 2 In N' Out trucks, Dominoes pizza station and a Just desserts truck all of which were free! Isaac and Elizabeth had so much fun running around and playing while Jim and I thought it was awesome to get FREE In N' out! After the carnival, there was a big basketball game preview/pep rally. Isaac thought that was cool too. Pepperdine's mascot s a wave.
Disneyland
We had the opportunity to go to Disneyland with Jim's uncle, John and his family during Halloween time. Isaac had fun with his cousins and it was a treat to spend some time with family that we never get to see.
Northern California
We were able to make a quick trip up to the Bay Area and by quick I mean only 3 days. The main reason we went up was because I threw Melanie an "Under the Sea" baby shower. While we were up there, my grandpa celebrated his birthday so the whole family was able to get together for dinner and celebrate.
Halloween Celebrations
We had many Halloween celebrations. Our ward party was a chili cook off and a trunk or treat. The kids had a great time sliding down a homemade slide and getting a ton of yummy treats from people's trunks.
We also went to the Malibu Halloween celebration at the park across the street from our house where there was a costume fashion show, trick or treating, games and a bounce house.
The day before Halloween we took the kids trick or treating around our complex. The undergrads and the law students were so generous to pass out candy to my kids and the rest of the kids in the complex. The kids had a great time trick or treating together!
On Halloween we went to our friends, the Cox's, house. It was great because they have grandchildren the same age as Isaac and Elizabeth so they were well prepared for us. We had a Halloween themed dinner with mummy dogs, witches fingers, green jell-o and a meal in a pumpkin. Isaac also helped Becky make chocolate cat cookies.
Disneyland Again
The kids and I met up with my friends, Kelly, Rick and Jaime and their kids in Disneyland for the day. It was great seeing them and visiting with them. I went to elementary school with Kelly and Rick and high school with all three of them. All of our kids had a great time hanging out together as did we adults. Elizabeth became attached to Rick which was very sweet and Isaac seemed to adore him and Kelly as well.
