A Piratical Weekend

The past few weekends have been pretty slow around here...and then we got to this weekend, where it seems we are a bit over-scheduled.  Funny how that works out.

On Friday, we had our first halloween event (I think we have 3 or so scheduled?)--a Halloween festival set up by the city of Fremont.  Savannah chose to be a pirate this year, and she made a rather adorable pirate, if I do say so myself.

At the event, the children could go around to different "houses" for trick or treating.  Local high school students were in each one, distributing candy.



Then, there were arts and crafts, and some carnival games.



A lovely time was had by all!

Yesterday, was Savannah's gymnastics class and her first visit to the optometrist.  She's getting pretty good at her somersaults:

The visit to the optometrist went well, too.  She's got her daddy's perfect vision, so that's encouraging.  We'd talked with her about this visit for some time--what would happen, what kind of tests the doctor would do, etc--and she seemed fairly accepting of the visit (though, for a while, she thought she was going there so the doctor could get the hair out of her eyes...I *might* say this to her every once in a while...).

Today, though, is our biggest event--Disney on Ice! Savannah doesn't know about this yet, so, hopefully, she'll be super excited about her surprise.  I'll include photos of that in my next post.

Love you all,
Ashley
