Pumpkin Day

The kids haven't really had the chance to dress up and get candy most of the years of their life but this year they were able to attend TWO events and they had so much fun.  They love to dress up and they love candy.  Win Win

Mountain Climbing

This week we went to an education conference.  It was a great time away from the big city.  It was also so helpful to learn how to better educate my children in a cross-cultural setting.  It was a huge encouragement.
While we were there Bruce really wanted to hike the mountain across the street from our hotel room.  He had been cooped up in the room all day with Isaac who was running a fever.  I told him I thought it was a great idea to take the older two on a hike.  Not really what he had in mind but away they went.  All three came back just in time for dinner and were so excited they made it to the mountain peak.

this is a view of the mountain from our hotel room

The olders enjoying the view.
