Halloween...

This weekend our friends (the Nance's) came to visit. Peter and I always like visitors, especially during holiday weekends. The kids had a lot of fun trick or treating and even little Avery caught on to what she was supposed to do. The kids looked so cute in there costumes.



























Saturday we tried to go to Six Flags, but when we got to the gate they were closing due to the rain. We then took the kids bowling, trying to buy some time and hope that the rain would calm down. It didn't, so we tried to adventure out to Sausalito and try to be good sports in the rain. Janie went to Ross and bought umbrellas and rain covers for the strollers. Both of our cameras died when we got to Sausalito so we don't have any good pics of our "outing" but it was very comical! (there are a couple pics from my phone camera, but they are not very clear) Max's and Harley's pants were so wet you could ring them out. There were places in on the sidewalk and street (when we crossed) where our feet were completely covered over our ankles in water! We basically tried to run as fast as we could from the car to a restaurant stopping periodically under a few awnings. When we were in the car and in the restaurant the rain seemed to stop/calm down...but every time we would bundle up to go outside the rain came pouring down. Sunday was a beautiful day! (I think we deserved to have a nice day after the day before!) We went to the wharf and took the kids to see the sea lions and ate clam chowder in bread bowls for lunch...yum! We had a great time with the Nance's and hope that the rainy weekend does not scare them from coming back soon!
