Balboa Park

On Saturday we met up with the San Diego Reifenberger Clan at Balboa Park (Home of the San Diego Zoo). We didn't make it to the zoo but spent the morning exploring all the other things to do at the park.  



The kids had a blast playing, dancing, and singing on the organ pavilion stage. It was quite the performance. 

Scene 1 - The Intro. 

Emmy enters Stage right.

Scene 2 - Oh the drama!
 

Final Act/ Resolution - There is much rejoicing and dancing. 

After the play we visited a really cool model train museum that we all enjoyed. 

Later we went on our own train ride. 

And a carousel.

Even Uncle Jeff got in on the carousel action! 

All in all I think everyone had a fun day. 

Toddler Bed

For weeks Emmy has been sleeping on a blow up mattress on the floor. This morning I decided to convert her crop to a toddler bed by taking one side off. Wish us luck tonight......

Happy Halloween

Carvin Der Pumpkin

The girls had a blast dressing up for Halloween. Although it was very strange trick-or-treating in 70 degree weather with a clear skye! Turns out this neighborhood is a hot spot for Halloween and they made out like banshees. 

Of course there was some last minute drama. After a year of telling us she wanted to be Ellsa or Aurora, Ellie decided at the last minute to be a lady bug (I think just to spite Emmy who was going to be the lady bug). 


For a few tense minutes we were not sure what to do with Emmy.........

Pant-less Octopus Princess?: High Heels - Check ; Octopus Shirt - Check ; No Pants - Check ; Tiara - Check ; Back Pack - Check. 

In the end we found a creative way for both of them to be lady bugs and Darcy to be a witch.
