Halloween 2010

I always let the kids pick their costumes. If there is a theme somewhere, I try to find it. This year it was Ben 10. Noah dressed up as Swampfire and Elijah was Heatblast.

Trick or Treating was done on base this year...TWO nights in a row. Because the 31st fell on a Sunday, some people/bases did it on Saturday night, while others stuck with the 31st. So, we just hit up two bases:-) Kadena Air Base on Saturday and Camp Lester on Sunday.

We went with the Khorassani kids on Kadena: Talia, Cameron and Soraya.

Instead of carving pumpkins, we did the easy route: Mr. Potatoe Head Style!

Elijah's on the left lost an ear. Noah's is on the right.

Another cool and fun thing (but also a lot of work!) that we did was make Haunted Houses. The craft center hosted the event.

I let the kids do most of it themselves. I just was there to correct or make them move faster. I also did all the glue-ing.

Noah working hard...

I volunteered in Elijah's classroom for their fall festival. There were arts and crafts and they decorated cookies. We also got to eat pumpkin pie:-)

I saw McGruff too!!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

October 2010 Fun with Friends

It's always good to get together with friends and have fun.

Ryu's Dining with the Khorassani's

"Beauty Beauty" for the pretty girl....yummy:-)

"Life is Beer"

Hookah time! We stumbled upon this cool hookah bar on Araha Beach.

Good drinks + Hookah=fun times!!

Smokin' hot

Professional...

Tadake Falls

We decided to take a car ride up north to visit one of our favorite restaurants, Pizza in the Sky, and then take a hike upstream to a waterfall we heard was pretty cool.

Of course, no weekend road trip is quite complete without a little traffic. I think this biker's jacket is better than our ol' saying of "Drive it like you own it." He says, "Drive it like you stole it." Love it...hahaha

Noah having fun playing while we wait to be seated at Pizza in the Sky.

I think Elijah and his friend, Cameron's patience was starting to show through this pic...haha

On to the adventurous hike!!

Truly hiking upstream...so cool. It was a bit slippery in some parts, but we all had a great time!

Noah acting like a Ben 10 Alien...

Elijah climbing through the terrain.

The kids...Talia, Noah, Elijah and Cameron

While Noah was enjoying himself by climbing on the rocks...

We enjoyed what he came for: Tadake Falls

Tim and Nima under the falls...and Elijah deciding last minute, he'd just wait until they came out:-)
