Mount Shasta with Sophia and Diane

Kit joined her friends for Thanksgiving in Mount Shasta.

We went caving too. Here is a view of the lake outside the caves.

The three girls had a great time together.

Kit is the oldest and enjoys reading a bedtime story to the other two girls.

View from the backyard of the house we rented.

Abalone and Butterflies

Kit and I ventured out to Davenport last weekend to visit an abalone farm.

I was thinking: DELICIOUS!
Kit was thinking: PRETTY SHELLS!

Afterwards we went to Natural Bridges to see the butterflies.

Kit held onto her abalone shell the entire day and night.

They are delicious.

And the shells are lovely.

Stuart Little Play

Kit loves going to the play.

Kit is in the young children acting group. The older students were in the play so Kit knews many of them.

Happy Binary Day and Nigel Tufnel Day!

We just celebrated 11/11/11 11:11 !!

Kit drew this for 11-11-11.

Quote

Kit loved dinner last night. She said, "I am full but I am not done."

Asilomar Beach

I forgot to post our photos from Asilomar Beach...

Kit's Room

Kit helped me shop at Costco. We found these lovely Tinkerbell wall stickers.

Kit said she was ready to sleep in her own room tonight. We started decorating the walls, adding night lights, and moving her stuffed animals into the room. She chose "Ma Moo" to hold at night. Kit was concerned about Tuk though. She instructed me to make sure I hold Tuk since she needs cuddles.

I read Kit three stories and brushed her teeth. She got good night kisses. Then she asked me to stay at the foot of her bed until she fell asleep. So I sang some songs to her while she fell asleep.

Kit woke up in the middle of the night to pee, something we rehearsed. She returned to her bed and went back to sleep. She was very proud of herself in the morning.

Great America

Sunday Kit and I went to Great America. We ran into Megan!

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday Kit joined her friends at the pumpkin patch.

Tarantula Festival with Sophia

Kit and Sophia helped me run the information booth at the Tarantula Festival.

They made their own tarantulas.

And listened to the music, by The Tarantulas.

There were snakes too.

Kit touched a gopher snake and a California king snake.

Then we went hiking.

Kit and Sophia hiked nearly 5 miles.

It was a very nice day for hiking.

We took a little break.

First time the Jeep touched dirt.
