Western Railway Museum with Rapelas

Sunday, we went with the Rapelas to Suisun City to check out the Western Railway Museum. We rode the electric train 5 miles out to a pumpkin patch where the wee ones played on a hay stack, meanered their way through the hay maze, hitched a ride on a hay ride, played old fashioned games and even ran into our former neighbors- Adam, Lisa, Noah and Zack. We had a really enjoyable time riding the rails and visiting the museum http://www.wrm.org/

Melody and Ainsley got new guitars to strum along to music by the Hipwaders. In Ainsley recap of the weekend, one of her 2nd grade assignments, she wrote that she loves her new guitar.

Southern Belle and Fairy

Nana made the girls' Halloween costumes this year. Ainlsey decided she wanted to be a Southern Belle and Kaley, a pink and purple fairy. Wishes do come true! The costumes arrived early last week and fit perfectly. We went to a bowling party this past weekend....here are a few photos of the girls beforehand. Ainsley and a couple of her friends won prizes for their costumes. Kaley should've won a prize for her sad face when Ainlsey was picked and she wasn't. Those watching the couldn't help but feel Kaley's sadness when Ainlsey was picked and she wasn't. She is a pretty cute fairy in my book!!

Pippi Longstocking

Ainlsey has had a couple of family projects due this year. Her most recent one, decorating a pumpkin in the likeness of a character from a book, is due tomorrow. Ainsley chose to decorate her pumpkin like Pippi Longstocking. We had fun working on it together.
