Rounding up September

Some more random pictures from September...

Apparently, Maddox will sit in the grass all day when he is 100 years old  :)

Self portrait.... At least he got the head proportion right  ;)

He does have a cute nose.

Zoe's dragon - love this

Her hopes and dreams for 1st grade is that she will practice jump rope.  Too cute. Aim high, Zoe!

She had a good summer!

The best part of the day - riding bikes to and from school with this little fire cracker.

The Reggae Fest concert - such a nice night!

Always doing art...

Disneyland 2015

We decided to go to Disneyland to celebrate their 60 year anniversary!  The kids had a great time - I think they're both getting the hang of roller coasters.  They could have cared less about the shows!

We went on Space Mountain 3 times. The first time Maddox loved it ... not sure I can say the same about the other two times.

Of course he was obsessed with the train

Zoe's favorite was the log ride

Discovering pay phones...

We had to explain how people use these things.

It's A Small World!

Thunder Mountain.  The first time out of six.

Success!

We spend the next morning and early afternoon at the hotel pool.  The kids loved it! We need to find a local pool to sneak into so we can do this more often.

While We Were Away

Mimene and Fanfan came down to Santa Barbara to watch the kids while we were in Mexico.  They took the Amtrak from Santa Barbara to Carpinteria, went to Zoe's first soccer game of the season and flew kites at the beach.

Thanks again, Mimene and Fanfan for watching them!

Look who turned 40!!

Yes, that's right.  Francis turned the big 4-0!

We celebrated by going to Cabo San Lucas for a few days...our first trip without kids or a laptop!

"4 - 0"

The food at our resort was amazing - we definitely took advantage of our all inclusive deal  ;)

We ordered this coffee dessert drink and had no idea that a show came with it.  These waiters must hate it when people order this off the menu!

It was delicious!

Doesn't look forty to me!

We enjoyed a lot of relaxing time on the beach - the tequila was flowing  :)

The last day before we left we went swimming with the dolphins - truly an amazing experience to be able to swim with these animals.  Did you know they shed their skin every 2 hours?!

The trip was entirely way too short!!  Time to plan our next one...
