Hester Happenings

For our 30th birthdays and anniversary Jeff and I decided to take a trip together. Because of the kindness of Jeff's parents, friends, and family this trip was possible! We chose to go to San Diego for a week (without Naomi). That was a big deal for me-but it turned out to be a really good thing for us! The first day it was raining so we relaxed, watched some movies, and visited the beach: The second day we walked around downtown San Diego and got to see the Gaslamp District. We ended the day with a dinner cruise: On day 3 we took a tour around San Diego to see the big spots. The tour started at the Santa Fe train depot. This building is 100 years old! PetCo Park: Balboa Park: La Jolla: Old Town: This is where the original city of San Diego started and had a lot of neat old buildings. Coronado beach:   The first 3 days was a blast!

It's pumpkin time! A local pumpkin patch has a teacher appreciation days where teachers can come for free with 2 other people. So of course we went! Naomi had a blast! There was a kid maze, picture spots, and animals of all kinds. There was a corn play area. Naomi didn't want to leave this! We also got to see animals racing: Daddy/daughter time is so sweet to watch! We then got to take a hay ride to get pumpkins: I think Naomi likes pumpkins almost as much as her mommy! Happy fall!
