Halloween

Halloween was a busy day. Brayden bobbed for apples at the Commissary after his gymnastics class, we carved pumkins, went to the school carnival and then went trick or treating in an off base American housing neighborhood. Kayla was dressed as the little mermaid, Brayden was dressed as Speed Racer and Spencer was Pooh. There's also pictures of Kayla with butterfly face paint and a mask from school.

Barcelona, Spain

It was pouring rain the day we went to Barcelona, but we figured it was better than spending the whole day in our hotel. We drove by a lot of the sights instead of getting out to see them. It was really crazy to drive a car in Barcelona. Every other street was one way and on the bigger streets you could only turn right or cross at a light or roundabout. We saw the Arc de Triumph, the statue of Christopher Columbus, the Hall of Music, the Temple of the Sacred family, the 1992 olympic stadium, a couple of crazy looking famous buildings by Gaudi, and a very odd skyscraper. We really enjoyed our trip to Spain and ended our trip by going to a Flamenco dancer show (but didn't take any pictures there). Our kids were generally really good, and we all had a great time.

Funny Spencer Pictures

Spencer sticks his tongue out a lot and laughs at himself all the time. There's a really funny picture of Spencer with Honey Smacks on his nose.

The Indoor Pool

Our kids could have played in the indoor pool all day. The water was only 3 or 4 feet deep in the entire pool, so the kids had a blast playing in the pool.

Boat Ride

We went for a scenic boat ride from Lloret de Mar to Tossa de Mar that was absolutely beautiful.

Hiking around Lloret de Mar

It was really beautiful to hike around the coast of Lloret de Mar.

The Beach in Lloret de Mar, Spain

We really enjoyed the beach in Spain. It was really beautiful, but very different from beaches in California. The beach looks sandy, but it is really tiny pebbles. The first day was a lot of fun but the second day was the end of our trips to the beach. It hurt my feet just to think about walking on those pebbles. Also, the sea floor dropped to about 5 feet just 10 feet into the water. That was sort of fun because we could be in the water and really close to the kids at the same time. Spencer made a funny little snail trail sliding down toward the water. He actually scooted into the water and cried when the cold water touched him. It's not as cold as the water in California, but it's still a shock.
