Halloween

UNDER THE SEA!

This year for Halloween we had the theme under the sea.  The whole family dressed up like something under the sea, except Lucy, she was Elmo with a swimsuit on. We had King Triton, Ursula, Nemo, deep sea diver, star fish, shark, crab, Ariel, (little and big) Eric, Sponge Bob, jelly fish, and then Elmo.  We always make my parents garage into the theme for the year, so this year we hung a boat above, so it looked like we were under it, fish, blue plastic everywhere, we had a crab pot.  It was very fun.  We only had about 50 trick or treaters, that was a big bummer because it takes so much work.  But next year the theme is NBA!  The boys are very excited for that. 

San Diego

For Chris' 30th birthday, we went to San Diego to see Neil Diamond. (Chris' dream to see him before he dies)  It was so fun!  We were only there for 2 nights and 3 days, but we made the most of our time while we were there.  We took Grammy Sandy to help out with Lucy, and so that Lucy could stay with her the night of the concert.  

I met Chris' aunt and uncle Greg and Marilyn, and his cousin Conor.  Chris had not seen them for 20 yrs!  They are the most awesome people I have ever met. They hooked us up at the Catamaran hotel and upgraded our room so that we were right on the beach, 6 feet of lawn and then sand. This was very nice with our little water baby, who thinks she is a fish.  We could let her play in the water for even 15 min when we had the chance and then bring her right in. We also went to their house for a great dinner, and to watch the sunset from the deck. 

While we were there we went to Scripps Aquarium. Lucy was running around like a crazy lady trying to see everything. It is much bigger than the one in Salt Lake, and it is a little cooler knowing that the fish really live right there.
