… more and more in love w/ our fine city! (“America’s Finest”, they say? We believe!)

Though the weather doesn’t fluctuate a whole lot, we are enjoying a bit more crisper temps with it technically being autumn. First time @ Pumpkin Station in Del Mar.

“Won” some swords. They generously gave 2.

Kylo Ren goes trick or treating @ the International Cottages in Balboa Park. Each one was so unique to their own countries.

Kylo @ costume day @ school.

The boyz gang.

Mao Laoshi’s class.

It was like a block party on Halloween in our neighborhood. Everyone was out. What a blast! “Woody” is his best friend on our street.

The haul, sorted. Believe it or not, he ate like 5 pieces max? The Daddy tax, on the other hand, was quite high… ;-P

Fantastic Beasts event at a new to us library.

With some wildlife outside… The owls were quite interesting to meet up close.

He touched that sssssslitherin’ reptile behind before this photo. Ewwww! :D

Scootered by the boardwalk to get to the Carlsbad Fair. Parking was atrocious! Think it’s the largest street fair in the nation so gotta visit at least once, right?

Worked up a hunger just getting there.

Daddy wanted to try a supercharger on the way back so we refueled at a healthy cafe inside an Equinox, which was right next door.

Finally got to visit the Mission Trails visitor center near our place.

Legoland on a day off from school. Decided to get the season pass as E is a zealous, budding master builder. :)

The Star Wars displays weren’t there the last time we came (still as tourists!).

So really, we can come as many times as we want until 2020? He fo sho will be back!

Stumbled across a new snow place, after running into some neighbors over lunch. Full circle story — we met them while house hunting back in April. They were looking at the same community as us. We ended up buying and moving in before them as they just closed not long ago and then the day we ran into them, found out they lived in Singapore for the past several years.

The chalk mural was very well done.

When school’s out and the kid wants to play but you want to stare at the waves and appreciate a sunset… :)) And the weather is still perfect.

A fireball of creation, indeed. ;))

And kinder, semester I photos. (Cheeeeeeeezzzzee!)
