All Aboard the Hurst Express!: October 2009

Halloween's a coming!

Yep, my favorite time of year! Brody has already gotten into the spooky spirit!

Gotta love holiday pj's!

Last weekend, Mike and I drove up to Berkeley to attend a friend's wedding at the Brazil Room in Tilden Park. Niether of us had been there before, so if was kind of a treat to sneak away in the afternoon (Grandma and Grandpa came to hang with Brody) and enjoy an outdoor wedding with beautiful scenery. Because we got there so early, we had a chance to play with the timer on the camera and actually get a decent shot of the two of us pre-ceremony.

Congrats to Dan and Marie!

We've known Dan and Marie for a few years now and look forward to spending time with them again at concerts and 49ers games. Dan and Marie left for their honeymoon this past Sunday and headed off to Indonesia for a month.

Earlier this week, the west cost of Indonesia felt the effects of a MAJOR earthquake. Right now, we aren't sure where in Indonesia Dan and Marie were headed, we just hope and pray that they are safe.

Hodge Podge....

Okay, so I'm a little deliquent in updating my blog. Hey, at least I managed to find a cool new layout...complete with trains!

So, the Hurst Express has been on the go this past month. Here are some highlights from some recent adventures:

Birthday Party at Pump It Up: I have heard friends talk about Pump It Up before, but had never been there. In the past few months, we've been invited to two Pump It Up birthday parties, and I've got to tell you BRODY LOVES THIS PLACE!!! Mind you, our child has absolutely NO FEAR, so he quickly took to climbing up 30 foot inflatable ladders and sliding down HUGE slides on his stomach. At one point, I actually had to get inside one of the inflatable mazes to help Brody climb up an inflatable climbing wall because he got so frustrated that he couldn't do it on his own. (Guess who came home with the only boo boo of the party...ME!) Here's a shot of Brody sliding down on his belly and he expression once he caught his bearings at the bottom (my apologies for the red eye).
