Well into the Fall

It's been too long since our last update and Summer has gone. Not that you would know it with the heat here in Southern California. Here's a bit of the action from the second half of Summer through our favorite holiday: Halloween!

Lots of water action continued through the summer. Beach trips & splashing in friends' pools.

We did our first 2 night camping trip with another family, the Scherrer's, it was a blast in spite of super dirty feet!

The backyard was also a favorite place to play and became the site of the Griffin & Raymond stunt show.

Another trip down to San Diego to hook up with Jill's side of the family and meet baby Andrew for the first time. Lots of fun at Sea World!

Griffin had a big crush on the blonde girl in the front! He sure likes the island girls!

(see previous post from Hawaii trip)

Whoa Shamu is big!

Griff's favorite park of camping.... S'mores!!

I think it was high on Nathan's & Luke's list also.

Cannonballs at Aydan's house. Perfect form!

After this action packed afternoon we had to retire the big blue ball.

Here's a few shots from Halloween time.

We were by far the first house in the neighborhood to have the Halloween decorations up!

The cape crusader lives again!

Holy Batman, Batman which one of you is my true crime fighting partner?

One of the many fun moments from the numerous beach jaunts.

This one is known as "The Takedown!"

This was a great present from cousin David.

One of the joys for summer nights, outdoor movies & dancing at Jeff & Jean's
