For Cato’s first time climbing outside (and Breana’s first time climbing since Cato was born), we tagged along with Sierra, Clay, and friend to check out the newer “Bunny Wall” on Bishops Peak. Cato rocked the approach hike but still isn’t so sure about this climbing thing, lol. Next time, we’ll try getting him some actual climbing shoes and remember his bike helmet, so hopefully, that will help!
Wow! What a busy month! At the beginning of the month, we moved from Dove Creek to Breana’s family home…Cato is now the 4th generation to live here! It was a MUCH easier move than our last one (CO to CA), but there are still lots of house projects that we’re working our way through. Shortly after moving, Breana and Cato went up to Fairfield for 4 days to visit Linnaea’s family. Cato had a blast getting to play with the 3 older boys (Henry, Oliver, and Patrick) and hiking in Muir Woods National Monument was a fantastic highlight (soooo many banana slugs!). For Thanksgiving, we both hosted a small group (Morrow’s, Jason) and visit Erin & Dillon for Breana’s family dinner.
Everyone had a fun time in their costumes and doing lots of Halloween themed activities (including Cliffords Halloween book, Danny Go skeleton dance, kids yoga, counting spider rings, and eating pumpkin shaped sandwiches with ghost chips)! We didn’t tell them that the red cups are supposed to have an adult beverage in them 😅
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 🙂
