On Friday we went to the duck park with the Bedke's before naps. The kids loved playing together and always play so well. It's as if we never left, we just jump right back to where we left off. Ethan loved being Blake's shadow and running around with him. In the afternoon we went to Irvine Park with Laurie, Jack and Evan for their Halloween festivites. We rode the train, went through their maze, and haunted house. The train is always the highlight of the trip. Afterwards Jared and Ethan went in the spa at Nana's and Papa's and we all enjoyed Cafe Rio. We ate well this week! It was nice having so many activities each day.
Today we went to the annual Orange County Fire Department open house that we have gone to the last few years. Ethan loved sitting in the fire trucks, spraying the fire hose to put out the fake fire, and of course the free lunch of hot dogs and chips. In the evening we went to Anna Lawerence's wedding reception in her family's old backyard. They moved to Utah several years ago but their daughter still lives in their California home. I haven't been in the home for years so it was neat to see what upgrades they have done with the house. The reception had a fun fall feel to it. They had a candy and dessert bar with white lights throughout the backward. It was very low key but nice. We just made a quick appearance since we had to get to the airport to pick up Brett. More to come on that...
That fire department event always seems like a big hit. It's nice they put that on for little kids.
