California is the Place To Be!

Here are Ben, Brianne and Ken at a restaurant/winery owned by Francis Ford Coppola. Yum! Grandma Kathy enjoyed entertaining Mackenzie and Madison with her hamonica and songs during our September visit.

Hanging Out in Sonoma, California

Not only did Mackenzie love the swings, but so did her daddy. Madison wondered why this strange woman was so happy holding her all the time.

Baby Madison was hungry again. During our visit, we could tell that Madison and Mackenzie are best buddies.

Bodega Bay

We hung out at the shops at a place on the Bay. Mackenzie LOVES her cookie. Madison LOVES her daddy!

September in California

Oysters! We had fun at a spot where oysters are caught and sold to the public. At grills at the site, customers can enjoy preparing their oysters and adding them to their picnic. Here Ben does the chef duties, while Brianne and Mackenzie go exploring.

Baby Madison takes a snooze. She also enjoyed dinner at the restaurant where Daddy used to work, in Healdsburg.

Beautiful Sunset

We are lucky enough to see beautiful sunsets off our deck. Quite refreshing!

Halloween Fun In Virginia

Ah, the joys of Halloween. Here are the entries for our neighborhood Halloween Party at the campgrounds. Our entry is at the far left; the winning entry is next to it. We had great fun playing a new game to us, Corn Hole. It was a costume party, and there were many laughs.

The President!

President Barack Obama came to the UW Mall in late September. I took the day off, to journey with Ken to see the event. If you look carefully, you will see a man in a white shirt addressing the crowd. Note the security detail on top of the library. It was a delighful, invigorating experience! Later, when we went to watch Andy's ultimate game, we saw Air Force One fly over the field.

Zoe's Birthday Party - Three!

Cupcakes and fun at the Country Inn Suites, in honor of Zesty Zoe! She enjoyed opening many presents, including a wonderful artist's box and some Minnie Mouse gifts. Isabel had fun decorating her mouth with the cupcake frosting!
