Museum of the San Ramon Valley

About a week ago we all went to a little Museum in San Ramon. Abby and Sophia both had projects they had to do for school and we killed 2 birds with one stone by going here. They both got their projects done and we had a great little adventure! The weather was a little windy but beautiful so it made for a very fun day.
The Girls out front of the Museum

Molly all by herself. She really wanted me to take her picture here. You probably couldn't tell by her cute little pose! She is still so much my baby, but sometimes when I look at pictures of her she looks so so big. It sometimes makes me sad!


Abby exploring



Here the girls are listening to our guide tell us about how they used to make bricks and he also told us about cattle branding, why we do it and how they do it. The girls really enjoyed this!




Sophia with the Cattle Brand, she thought it was pretty cool that she got to hold it.





Macey with some houses or huts that the Native Americans made.






Abby needed for her project at school a picture of her with some kind of artwork. We thought that this was a great example of artwork, but it was suspended on the ceiling so we had to be a bit creative when taking this picture! Abby bent down and I practically had to sit on the floor to get it, but we got it! Don't mind the scary animals in the back round, I didn't mean to get them in the picture!







This is another picture of our guide telling us about things that the Native Americans made. They were all very intricate and beautiful! It must have taken them a long time to do just one!
I know that the girls had a great time and it was so much fun to explore! The girls were grateful to get out of the house and do something fun and I am so glad that we had this adventure as a family!

Halloween 2010

Here are just a few pictures from Halloween night. Because of the move, I wasn't really prepared this year for it. But we put together these costumes and I think they turned out pretty good! The girls had a ton of fun and really enjoyed each other and that's really what counts(and the fact that they got way too much candy)!The Group Shot!

Abby




A friend of Abby's from school invited us over for a little party and some trick-or-treating! I think all of the kids had a great time!





Getting some candy! I'm not sure how many times I told Molly to not run in peoples yard, she didn't want to listen. She had to try to keep up with the big kids!






I thought this house was amazing! The whole yard and entryway were decorated! It was one of the last houses we went to and it was a great way to end the night!
