Soccer Season

Soccer season has come to a close...it's always sad when it ends.



Charlie got to play goalie for part of his game, and he did great! 


Their team went undefeated!

Disney Day #2


We went to the Disneyland park on Day #2.  We met up with some friends from California, the Reiersons. 


So sunny!  Soaking it in!

Lukas was upset the teacup was pink. 

 The Star Wars Galaxy's Edge was a fun new experience.



Dining with the Pirates 

Until next time Disney!

Disney Adventure

I am always a week or so behind, but trying to make time to post updates of fun events in our lives. 
A few weeks ago we spent a sun-filled time in Southern California at the Disney parks.

First stop was California Adventure.  It felt like we had the park to ourselves for the first few hours.  It was amazing!!  Both Lukas and Charlie are thrill-seekers so we had a blast on all of the rides.





One of our favorite spots was Radiator Springs.




 When Charlie and Lukas went back to the hotel to splash in the pool, Charlie and I did a few laps on the Incredicoaster on the Pixar Pier.  Charlie's first upside down coaster!

Piano

Lukas started piano this fall, and he is picking it up great so far.  It is so fun to see his little fingers on the keys. 

His favorite part is singing along to the songs he's playing.

Soccer nights

Both boys are really into soccer at the moment - especially Charlie.  He tried out for the Timbers RTC training team and was honored to earn a spot.  He is one of the youngest (and smallest) kids out on the field, but he's one of the most tenacious.  This is his first year in the program, so there has been a learning curve and they mix the age groups for practice. These youth are impressive players!  It has been fun to watch his skills improve even in the few short weeks he has been in the program.

Sunday night they scrimmaged against the girls team, who gave the boys a run for their money.
Charlie is in the middle, just past the 10 yard line.

Marrowstone Weekend

A quick blitz up to the cabin didn't disappoint.  The weather was spectacular and the company was too.

A visit to Fort Flagler is always a must.  The boys love exploring with Uncle Jim.



 This is island living at its finest.

The boys were excited for a construction site near by.   

One of the main reasons for the visit was to bury Paul's Grandpa Ralph in his final resting place.  The cemetery on the island is a gorgeous spot. 



Ralph was honored for his service by the Honor Guard - it was a touching ceremony.
Rest in Peace Ralph.

More Weekend Highlights

Soccer Saturday

Lukas has great hustle. 

Fall brings acorns (a lot!), and without being asked, Lukas cleaned them all up from the driveway.

Spooky Saturday

A spooky Saturday night was spent at the local corn maze underneath the moonlight. 

Luckily we all made it out alive!
