Our Zip line Adventures

We finally got around to going on a zip line, something we've been trying to do since our anniversary in July. 
The last time I went was when I was a teenager at Youth Conference and always wanted to try it again.
It wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be.  They started us off easy and then we worked up to the last zip line which was the longest. 

The following are three videos from our zip line adventures.

This is Richards last zip.  There is a bell at the end of the line that everyone tries to ring. Richard almost made it but was just a little short of hitting it.

This was my last zip. Richard took the video from the top.

This was my fourth zip and one that I was trying out my turning skills on. Pretty impressive huh?

Halloween Activities

For their school Historical Halloween, Dylan was Thomas Edison and Brendan was Captain Kidd. 

Trunk or Treat

I ordered a cowboy costume for Jacob but it got lost in the mail.  I finally faced the fact that it wasn't coming and checked my costume bin for something he could wear.  I found my Pebbles costume from way back in my college days that my mom made she made a matching one for Rich as well but it got lost somewhere along the way.  I thought Jacob as Bam Bam would be perfect, especially in Hawaii.  I quickly threw together a costume and it turned out so cute Richard decided he wanted to join in the Flintstone fun only that meant I had to throw together another costume. I do not sew clothes so it really is a miracle they turned out. 

Jacob did a little Trick or Treating on Halloween day.  His bag was gettting pretty heavy but he was enjoying the experience expcept for the scary people and dogs.

Harvest Festival

Brendan won the pie eating contest at the Montessori Hale O Keiki Harvest Festival.  Jordan won last year but he was at a MMA tournament this year so he couldn't relcaim his title.  Apparently my boys have big mouths and big stomachs.
