When the cousins came down in October, we went for a Halloween balloon ride at the OC Great Park and spent the morning playing and biking with Noah and Hailey!

Ready to ride the great orange balloon, decked out as a pumpkin for Halloween.

Up in the air.

On to the next attraction…

Such a perfect fall day for a picnic!

Eleanor was napping in the morning, so I drove separately and joined the group when she woke up.

Rock climbing on the playground.

Poor Noah looked confused with the twins’ unique checkers “rules.”

The cousin biker gang.

Meredith and Hailey were so sweet with each other!

Eleanor wishing she could ride a bike too.

Meredith showed zero interest in her Strider bike basically the entire year until just recently and now she’s a pro. She rides all over town.

Meredith was getting ready to knock down her Jenga tower when this kid stole her thunder. I don’t think he expected the blocks to land on his head and hurt. He ran away crying while all the parents couldn’t help but laugh.

Going on a walk later after all the cousin excitement.

Lots of love,
