Halloween at the zoo. Olivia's face is painted as a butterfly.
Since Halloween was on a Wednesday, we didn't have a Fall festival. Jeremy made one for the girls at home, complete with three games (basketball shoot, corn hole, and ping pong toss). They just happened to win the grand prize, two fish. They lasted maybe a month. Abigail's died first and then Olivia's a few days later.
They even got to do some trick or treating. Jeremy dressed up like different people and 'answered' Caraline's door. Needless to say, it was a huge hit with the girls. Jeremy called the event Smith - o - ween. He's a fantastic daddy!
Note to self...do not take photos of Caraline right after naptime.
Or at least until she has been placated with presents (courtesy of our neighbors).
I dressed up as a princess too for a free burrito at Chipotle. Quite an adventure. Our kids mainly stared open mouthed at all the different costumes, at one point loudly asking why the guy was naked who just walked in. I think he was supposed to be the warewolf guy from the Twilight movies. We also saw from friends from school and church - was a fun place to go.
Here's Olivia dressed for a soccer game with the Burtch boys in November - a bathing suit of course!
Pier 39 aquarium was a huge hit with the kids. Free passes from the library! Caraline and Olivia could have lived at the touch pools.

Another rock climbing adventure with Jeremy's former co-worker. Love how Caraline is scaling the walls here. Abigail did really great and got to the top of most of the ones she tried. Olivia was more interested in doing tricks on the rings and Caraline ran around like a wacko (and at one point into the slackline).
Real climbers get a chalk bag.
