Hoorah for October!

What a wonderful time of year! October brings Halloween decorations AND (this year) rain! Alex and Jack have new rain boots and we had to take an after-dinner walk to practice puddle jumping (into, not over!)...

Disneyland!

It was Alex's first trip to Disneyland, and Jack introduced her to all his favorite things! After each new ride/experience, Alex responded, "Again! I want to do that again!" so I guess she had a good time! The day began with a bit of the unusual - thundershowers! - which lasted just long enough to warrent the purchase of Mickey Mouse umbrellas - and ended with the usual ride down Main Street in the horse-drawn streetcar... Here the kids pat the horse's stomach a fond "good-bye" before we leave... A fun (and hot and humid and exhausting!) day...
