California Trip







This was Hailey and Olivia's Halloween costumes/outfits...we wanted to get them matching outfits, but also something that was very practical and could be worn again. So we got them the outfits and there was also matching bibs that had a little pumpkin on it and said Trick or Treat. They were so cute in them and they had a wonderful time going into the Stanford dorms and getting some candy. We had a wonderful time with them and they both enjoyed trick or treating together.

The girls also enjoyed the opportunity to eat and make a mess together. This a picture of them making a mess together and loving every minute of it...we all got such a great kick out of them eating each others food and sharing so nicely!

After a long hard day of playing together and being out in the beautiful weather, we would find the girls a sleep in their car seats and knocked out. They were so cute when they both would fall asleep, which usually didn't happen a lot, because when one was up the other one would normally be a sleep. So Denise and I loved the time we could talk and enjoy some quietness while the girls took a nap.

We also had a wonderful time taking the girls to the beach and letting them play in the sand. Thankfully Hailey did not want to eat the sand like Olivia did, but they both loved playing in the sand with their feet. Olivia starting eating the sand right after Denise made a comment that she didn't mind her getting sand all over her as long as she didn't eat....well sure enough Olivia loved the sand! It was such a wonderful day to take the girls out and let them enjoy the weather and the beautiful nature of the beach...we had a wonderful day of laughs and watching the girls experience something new.

All in all, Hailey and I had a wonderful time with Cousin Olivia and Aunt Denise. We also survived our first earthquake, a 5.7, and it was just another part of making our trip great.
