Pumpkins at the Barn

Alani and Anu got to spend time at Avila Barn with their "twin" cousins Haley and Lance. Thanks to Dave for the photos. It's amazing who you'll meet on the hayride too.

Mana's Renditions of Dora and Diego

I thought these drawings of Dora, Diego and Diego's Aunt were pretty good that Mana did.

Star Farms fun and big girl haircuts

Alani's first haircut (besides when she cut it herself to look like Daddy, and when Tani had to snip gum out of it).

Mana showing off her new haircut and her new Zhuzhu pet "Sweetie" that she bought with her saved up money. Anu wants a zhuzhu pet so badly, he just hold it in his little hands, and touches the nose (which makes loving sounds) and says "nose". And he loves the wheels on the bottom. There's something about boys and wheels I've noticed.....

We had tons of fun at Star Farms 2 weekends in a row for 2 different activities. This is a manmade lake in the middle of a farm in Paso Robles. It's like Hawaii in the valley or something. We love it here. I got a chance to take the kayaks out and give the girls a little lesson on how to hold the paddle.

Comic artist Mana

Mana has been into drawing Avatar pictures. Here's one of Ty Lee and Azula that she drew tonight. I told her she should start drawing comic books.
