SLO Children's Museum

The Friday after Thanksgiving, we went to the SLO Children's Museum with Matt, Tania and Anna. The red spinning chair was a big hit. The chair was tilted just right that once you start spinning it keeps going and going and going...

I even spun around in the chair with Connor, but I didn't fit as well as the little ones did.

Anna even enjoyed her spin on the chair until it started going to fast and she bumped her lip :(

Maxwel

Uncle Chris brought his new pet, Maxwel, with for Thanksgiving. Chris found a praying mantis in San Diego and brought it to Arroyo Grande to show to Connor and Ryan. The boys weren't as thrilled with the bug as Chris had hoped. They looked at Maxwel, but did not want to touch or hold it. Chris released Maxwell before he went back home to San Diego.

Brent & Megan's Wedding

On Friday, November 21, we went to Brent & Megan's wedding in Sacramento. This was Connor and Ryan's 3rd wedding.

Above is a picture of Connor and Cody all dressed up. Below is Ryan.

...and Tyler too. Aren't they cute all dressed up?

It would have been cute to get a picture of all four boys all dressed up, but what do you expect from kids who just want to run wild.

There were many kids at the wedding and they even had a special table of kid-friendly food like Mac-n-cheese, french fries and cheeseburgers. Connor and Ryan loved dancing and all the people at the party. They never realized they were tired because they just wouldn't stand still long enough to get tired. We didn't leave the wedding until about 11:30pm and didn't get to bed until about midnight. I think this night was probably the latest Connor and Ryan have ever stayed up. At least, they slept in until about 9:30 the following morning.

On our way home, we stopped at the Jelly Belly Factory. The kids loved the factory tour, especially the free bag of Jelly Bellies they got at the end of the tour. Below is a picture of us in front of the Jelly Belly factory by the Jelly Belly car. The store was all decked out for Christmas and they had a giant Christmas tree out front.
