Fall Break 2025

We went bowling as a family during Fall Break and it was so fun.

Had an incredible Sunday at Nielsen's Grove Park. The leaves are so pretty!

As we were leaving to go home I saw this lady walking by with the tiniest dog in her arms. I said something about it and she heard me and came over and she had a whole litter of puppies that were only a few days old! She let us hold them and it was the best!!

I took the kids to Jaker's on Monday for our last day of Fall Break. The kids are definitely outgrowing it but it was fun to go back and recreate some pictures. We will probably have to try out Cornbelly's next year.

 

Ava turns 9!

I got to go with Jackson on a class field trip to Hee Haws. We had a great time! 

I took Ava and Jackson to Nickel City the night before Ava's birthday. We had so much fun!

Ava's birthday was on a Sunday and she was so happy with everything she got! 

Breakfast in bed. Tradition!

We had a family dinner with the Salmon's that night which was perfect so she could celebrate with her cousins.

And she requested that we eat at Golden Corral so we did!

Kallie's soccer team went undefeated and only had 1 goal scored against them the entire season. They clearly need to move up to be a state team ha ha! It was so fun to watch them though and she loved it!

Mckinley asked Ezra from cross country to Sadie's.

Ava got to do the itty bitty bruin cheer camp and perform at halftime at the football game. It was rainy and chaotic, but she had fun!

She did it with her friend Emily.

The kids had been asking to go to the Hive so I took them over Fall Break.

 

Hawaii has our hearts

After family pictures we headed out to the north shore again, we first hit up Matsumoto's again, and then headed to Waimea Bay Beach Park, another one of our favorite beaches from last year.

We had the craziest experience when this massive wave went up over the sandhill and soaked all of our stuff on the beach! We didn't lose anything luckily. It sure was funny. We saw some seals and dolphins swimming off in the distance. We had a great time at this beach!

After the beach we headed back down and stopped in Hale'iwa for some food truck food that was soooo good! We got coconut shrimp and Loco Moco. Definitely doing this again on our next trip!

And back to Matsumoto's again to try the beans on our shave ice, which we didn't love.

So proud of this girl for being so dedicated to running! She ran 31 miles while we were there.

Our last day with Charlie.

Cute little teensie gecko.

And of course on our last day there we had to hit up Paradise Cove Public Beach again. 

Got to see and swim with turtles again and did some more great snorkeling.

Prepping for that red eye flight! Such a great trip. I'm sure we'll be back!
