Spiderman Goes to the Dance

Last week, Nick went to the Best Pals Halloween Dance.

We kept the invitation on the refrigerator to remember the day.

McKenzie bought Nick a great costume, Nick was Spiderman!

Mom took pictures outside.  McKenzie showed Nick how to shape his hands the way Spiderman does when he spins a web.

But mostly Nick was running around the yard

and swinging from the tree, just like Spiderman!

Mom picked up Nick at the dance, his teachers said he had a great time.

On Saturday Nick got to wear his costume again at AHRC. 



And he gets to wear it one more time, on October 31 for Halloween.

Little Portraits

Mom has new portrait pictures of Henry and Katie, they are sitting on mom's desk.  Mom keeps telling Nick, "don't touch the pictures please," but Nick likes to look at them.  

Then mom said, "wait, I have little copies of the portraits, you can have the little pictures and then you can look at them anytime you like."

A Visit from Henry and Katie

On Friday, mom gave Nick surprise news. 

Mom said, "your cousins Henry and Katie are coming to visit."

The cousins enjoyed Gino's pizza for dinner together.

The next day we went to the Fall Festival in town.  Nick did not want to go, so he stayed home.  Mom showed Nick the pictures on the computer.  This is Henry and Katie on the carousel. 

Mom and Henry rode the Ferris Wheel together.

We were high in the air and we could see the whole festival.  Mom does not like heights, but Henry loved the view.  He was pointing out the ocean, the bay, and all the tall buildings.

We got a picture of Stefani and Katie on the seat behind us, Katie was not scared at all.

Mom said to Nick, "I'm sorry you did not come with us, you would have had a good time at the festival.  At least you still had a fun visit with your cousins."

Nick's Pool is Closed

October is here, it is too cold to swim in Nick's pool outside, so now the pool is closed.  The cover is on top, and Nick is sad.  Mom told Nick, "don't forget, the pool will be open again in June."

Yet Another Beach Weekend

This weekend the weather was sunny and over 70 degrees.  It as beautiful weather for sitting outside and playing on the side of the house.  But Nick wanted to go to the beach.  Mom said, "sometimes it is cooler at the beach, we will wear sweat shirts just in case we are too cold.

When we got to the beach there was good news.  The boardwalk has been built up to Lindell Blvd, we could see people riding their bikes up above!

Then we went down to the shore line, the air was very comfortable and the water was not too cold.  We stayed a long time with our feet in the water and watching the waves.  Mom asked Nick if he was having a good time but Nick did not did say any words.  Mom said, "that's okay, lots of people come to the beach to be quiet and clear their thoughts.

Good-Bye Summer

Today was a beautiful sunny day.  Now that it is September the weather is getting cooler.  Mom told Nick it is time to say good-bye to summer.   

We have been going to beach on Sundays.  Today mom told Nick he had to keep his sweatshirt on, and he could not go in the water past the knees because there are no lifeguards on duty.

When we came back to the house Nick ran into the pool.  Mom told Nick it is too cold to go in the pool, but Nick did not listen.  He jumped in the water and then jumped out shivering and said, "towel! towel!"

Mom said, "it is the end of September, we are going to close the pool because it is too cold for swimming.  That's what it means to say good-bye to summer."

Weekend Visitors

This past weekend was Labor Day weekend, it is the end of summer and soon Nick and his classmates will be back in school.  Mom had a surprise for Nick, on Thursday grammy came to visit.

Mom had a surprise for Nick, on Thursday grammy came to visit!

Grammy stayed with us for the weekend.  Nick was happy and always walking around with a big smile on his face.

On Saturday we had more visitors.  This is a picture of mom with Nick and Derek.  Mom and Derek grew up together, now Nick is taller than mom and almost as big as Derek!

On Sunday Bobby, grandpa and Myles came to visit.  Mom tried to get a good picture of the Reminick men together, Nick was being silly and not very cooperative.
