The original plan was to participate in the Witches & Warlocks Paddle, but Jane and I ended up just wondering down Embarcadero, checking out Farmers Market, and checking out all the Halloween costumes! (designated Trick or Treating down down town)

Super fun event to support the local zoo. Cato had a blast with all the activity stations, and I’m not sure who was more intrigued by the dinosaur – Cato or the Mongoose Lemures lol 😆
Office family picnic at Cuesta Canyon Park…Amazon style! Du volunteered to help coordinate the bounce houses…OMG so many different ones to play on for all ages! Cato got to experience his first face painting
We finally made it up to Paso to check out their children’s museum with our friends Erin and Xavier. The boys both loved the fire truck, and they had several ball exhibits that kept Cato quite occupied lol.
Fun fall camping trip to Kings Canyon National Park. Not as many fall colors as in CO, but it was nice checking out a new National Park during off-season (and a government shut down) when it was pretty quiet. The 4 days gave us time to check out the canyon floor, Boyden Cave, Hume Lake, and Grant’s Grove. Our campsite the 3rd night won the award for “Best Views Ever!” (looking down at Hume Lake then north up the Middle Fork of the Kings River). On the way home, we stopped for lunch with Marc & family in Fresno.
Per usual, Cato had fun running around with Parker and Hudson while Ashley and I attempted to enjoy the views. Family anniversary dinner at Old SLO was lovely… complete with picnic table next to a sandbox!! 7 year wedding anniversary ❣️
Celebrating the Fall Equinox with some apple picking at SLO Creek Farms with Parker and Hudson. The boys had a blast running around the orchard, exploring the flower fields, and playing with the lawn games. Many apples were consumed 🙂
Cato marched right in and was ready to start playing with the new toys and kids. His cast works great for defending snacks, and group lunch time is a nice, social affair (so far, no swapping/ bartering being conducted). First art project was to evaluate how well everyone can scribble, lol. We’re starting out easy with just 3 days per week / 3 hrs per day, but plan to work up to 5 hrs per day.
Fun trip back back to CO to visit Uncle Steve and Auntie Heather. Steve and Du tried their hand at the inaugural Big Horn Sheep Ride in Gypsum (80 miles, mixed gravel/tarmac) but decided actual racing just isn’t their jam. Cato’s arm was noticeably feeling better and didn’t slow him down in the least!
Fun afternoon checking out the children’s museum and then hanging out by the creek. So much to explore!
