Fall with the Ballard Boys

Oh my gosh, I haven't sent an update in a while! We went to California at the beginning of October and I tried to just pick a couple pics but we had just too good of a time! For Halloween the boys were all Star Wars guys - Jengo, Boba and Darth Vader. We went to Gramma and Papa's for Thanksgiving and the boys had a great time running around with their cousins. We just got our tree this past Friday and the boys had fun putting the ornaments on - I think we only had 3 broken - not too bad. :) This past weekend we got a bit of snow so the boys were testing out the sled - they are getting a bit tight on one sled.
Merry Christmas!

Lego land was a blast!

This pic is so Nick!

The beach was right out our door! The boys loved digging in the sand, chasing birds and running in the ocean!

Our pool was fun!

The boys are all shark dudes so Sea World was a hit!

The boys loved checking out all of the jets on the Midway (guy next to Dre is not real - Nick is intrigued)

Ice cream at the Zoo

We met Marti and her fam at the Miramar Air Show! It was quite impressive!

Right before our flight home we squeezed in a trip to the tide pools! Everything was cool about it except for the shell that Sara couldn't resist bringing home...it didn't look like there was a critter in it but as it turns out there was of course. A bit stinky. :)

 

Halloween Star Wars Style!

Not much snow but we will take it!
