A few pictures of what we've been up to.
Despite the fighting the stomach flu (note the large sheet in the background, our attempt to protect the carpet) Hudson and Brooklyn were able to enjoy a couple small presents from us. Unfortunately these presents and a dinner at Papa and Nana's house 2 weeks later is as festive as their birthday was this year. Maybe next year....
We decided to head out as a family this year to catch the annual balloon festival in town. Of course it was too windy again this year so the balloons didn't launch. One of these years we will see them launch. The kids did awesome though ad we were able to hang out a little longer and take in some of the other festivities, including watching the bay area sky divers. They were super cool!
On Labor Day we headed up to one of our favorite little hiking places. It is only a 45 minute drive so our kids are able to make it there without getting car sick. Yes, that is a major criteria for us when making traveling plans!
The kids were troopers and we were able to "hike" without backpacks or a stroller!! It felt like a big accomplishment for us and it was one more step towards feeling "normal" for Kevin and I. Hudson especially loved hiking and led the pack most of the morning.
They have a little museum there where you can check out the local animals, vegetation and Native American History. Ethan and Morgan were really into this. Again, it was a fun step towards everyone growing up.
Morgan and Husdon are wearing animal pelts...nasty, I know.

Lynds,
Fun to catch up thru the blog. Seriously, will they EVER launch those balloons? Seems like every year we tried to watch it failed. Your kids are getting so big. So glad to hear you were able to get out and enjoy the great outdoors! Miss you!
--and where is this little hiking place? I'm always looking for other ideas of what we can do when we get to town...
