Leaves!

Once again, I love fall leaves, and I am having a really fun time learning how to take great pictures.  Zachary's getting tired of me always having my camera out, but here's some cute ones!  (After we were done taking pictures I got to jump in the leaves too!)

Love this one!

Awesome action shot

I tried a throwing leaves shot and one of them actually worked!

More Halloween :)

A few days after Halloween, the kids and I were playing in the front yard and Zachary noticed the pumpkins still sitting on our porch.  He turned to me and said, "Mom! We never carved our Pumpkins!!!"  I tried to talk him out of it since Halloween was over, but he was quite insistent.  So that night we carved our two little pumpkins.  Zachary had fun helping, and he actually cut his face out all by himself (with a little bit of guidance, of course).  He thought it was so cool when we lit the candles and turned all the lights off, and then I got a little carried away trying to get some good pictures of them....  It was a fun night!

Zachary's scary pumpkin

Daphne's pumpkin that Daddy carved :)

Here I had fun playing with shutter speeds.  This one is fairly slow

A little faster

And just about right for a cool pumpkin look!

Disneyland, Day 3

On Day 3 we were definitely starting to get tired, so it was a little more low-key.  I think we rode everything we wanted to a couple of times (if not more) and everyone was happy!

While some of us were riding Indiana Jones, others took the kids through Tarzan's treehouse.  Daphne is definitely turning into a little miss Independent!

I LOVE her curly hair!

Jump!

Zachary loved doing things with Travis

All 3 days, Zachary kept hoping to see Buzz Lightyear.  When he finally got his chance, Buzz left right when it was his turn.  Everyone told him to run up with this boy (who had already had his picture taken) so he could get a picture before Buzz left!

Another version of the carousel....she wasn't picky :)

This was a fun shot of everyone pushing the ball, but there were scary noises at Space Mountain (because of Halloween) and so Zachary had to cover his ears..

All the Halloween decorations were lots of fun!  Maybe someday we'll take our kids back to Disneyland, but I think it's going to be a very long time....  ;)

Disneyland, Day 2

Day 2 was definitely the best crowds-wise.  It wasn't super busy any day, but we practically walked onto everything this day, which was awesome.  We spent most of the day in California Adventure, and had a great time!

Daphne wasn't sure what to think about all these characters

Pushing the stroller/shopping cart/anything with wheels is one of Daphne's favorite pasttimes

This was a cool reflection shot, and Daphne is actually smiling!!!

It's hard to get a good picture on Dumbo...

Probably pointing to the horses ;)

We spent a lot of time in Bug's Land, and the kids loved it!

Yep, I think we all felt like this.....

We went to World of Color that night, and it was a great show!  My picture didn't work, but believe me when I say it was awesome.
