Halloween

Riis' First Halloween

Riis was Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween. Mommy was brainstorming all of the possibilities for our little red head, and let's just say there are many more great ones to come! Mommy bought the fabric at the thrift store and sewed the cape. We have everything else around the house. Mommy was the grandma before she was eaten and Can was the grandma after.

Ashton and Christian came over to play along with a bunch of Riis' aunties and uncles. Riis and Ashton got along so well. Playing, licking, and rolling around were their 3 favorite things to do. Riis has a baby she just cannot get enough of lately. So, needless to say she was super excited to see Christian and wanted to play with that little guy so badly.

Camping

Riis' First Camping Trip

We took Riis on her first camping trip last weekend. We went up to Peacock Flats with Uncle Kenny Hi, Aunt Jean, and Uncle Kellen. It was a nice, peaceful, cool, and fall-like trip.

The ride up took about an hour and half and was super bumpy. Tom and I were commenting on how we were happy we did not take Little Miss Riis up sooner.

We went on a hike, ate food over the fire, and shared funny stories with friends. Cano and Rockie had fun too!

Pumpkin Picking

Riis' First Pumpkin Picking Day

Two weeks ago we went to the only pumpkin patch in Hawaii to pick pumpkins. We were lucky that it was in Kapolei and was only 20 minutes from the house.

We started by trying to take some pictures of Riis standing next to and sitting on big pumpkins. I have never seen her so scared!

Next, we went to pick out pumpkins to bring home. We got a big daddy pumpkin, a mommy pumpkin, and a cute little Riis pumpkin. We learned from observation and exhaustion that we need to bring a wagon next time.

Daddy put the pumpkins in the car and we went to the petting zoo. Riis was more scared of the little pigs than we thought she would be. Daddy stuck with it and they ended up having a nice time in there.

Riis' favorit part of the trip was the roasted corn. It was so sweet and warm. Riis ate every last bit!

Very scared (the first thing she has been noticeably scared of)

CA Trip

We just got back from visiting Uncle Goo and the family in California. The weather was beautiful, the beach house with the indoor pool was super fun, and everyone had a great time. Riis is getting a little bit more fussy on the plane, but besides that it was a flawless trip.

Great to see Uncle Goo and have him home safe

Here is Riis on her scooter. This is a loaner from Ashton.

Riis loves this, but so far can only go backwards.

Riis loves to show her new tricks to the camera.
