Ready for trick or treating?

I got to paint Cali's face for her bunny costume... she did so good in holding still to let me do it, if she didn't rub her hands on her face before it dried it would have been better... but as Julie said, she isn't even 2 yet... she did awesome!

My Concord, California Adventure!

I had a great time in California with Katie, Ian and Aaron over the past 4 days... thanks again you guys! I did my best to post a bit of everything so once you hit the bottom of the page, make sure you click on 'older posts' to see more as there is alot! Enjoy!

Welcome to Concord!

Flying out of Bellingham with Allegiant was an awesome option for a cheaper flight! Do you see the 3rd plane to the left? We all had to run through the rain to board that plane... you think they would have planned it better!!

I think this was part of the Napa Valley on our flight in to Oakland

To get to Concord I had to take a bus from the Airport to the train station... this was the creepy train transfer platform I had to hang out at in Oakland! Totally old school brick stairwells!

Aaron kept giving me funny looks when I arrived but soon got used to me! This was him before bedtime climbing on my air mattress bed... he kept kind of face planting off the side of it having a blast, it was pretty funny!

Auntie Holly & Aaron's Adventure!

Katie let me baby sit Aaron while she and Ian went off to a football game in the city! Aaron was such a good boy... just a tiny little whimper and 1 tear (look close you can see it!) and then he was good to go! Equipped with a GPS, we drove to the mall and wandered around, I bought him a little outfit at Gymboree and then we went for a drive through Martinez.

Back at the house, Aaron was excited to get his hands on the car keys!

We did some laundry... well, he played, I folded, to help out mommy!

We got the mail from postman 'Carl'... and then we went to go pick up mommy and daddy at the train station! Aaron did so well for his first babysitting experience!

A Tour of Palms

After babysitting Aaron all afternoon I wanted to walk around to take pictures of palm trees and other unusual plants so Katie joined me. This was my absolute favorite Palm Tree... never seen this type before!

I have no idea what this flower is, but I thought mom would like it!

A Tour of Palms

Another palm! They came in all shapes and sizes... so fun!

A prickly pear cactus, it was so neat how it looks like it has little fingers...

This is an Oregon Post Cactus... over 60 years old, the woman who lived there was way to happy to tell us all about it! We never did have a chance to come back and see it bloom unfortunately!
