Santa Cruz Part 2

Other than beaches, we also went to this funny place called the Mystery Spot. It is a mystery because everything is crooked and we get dizzy and can’t walk straight. And Mommy got really sick! We also went to a Redwood forest with HUUUGE trees. A lot of the trees had big holes on the side that we could walk through, and one of them we could go inside!

Santa Cruz Part 1

This year we were planning to go to Hawaii during Kayli’s fall break, but cancelled because of dumb coronavirus. But instead, we went to Santa Cruz for two days! First was a stop at Gilroy Gardens at night where they had super cool Halloween decorations! Then lots of beaches, snacks, and junk food. Lots of french fries. We love vacation! Except the driving part.

Halloween!

This year we got to carve pumpkins for the first time! Kayli wanted to do a traditional Jack-o-Lantern. Daddy helped draw it on the pumpkin, but they Kayli carved it all by herself! Leia wanted to do a paw, from Paw Patrol. They turned out awesome! But they got super moldy and gross really really fast, so we had to dump them before Halloween!

After skipping trick or treating last year, Kayli got to go this year! Poor Leia got sick on Halloween and couldn’t go, but we ended up with tons and tons of candy still.

The carving begins! We are so excited!
