November Catch-Up

As you can appreciate after our hectic October, our November was a much more laid-back affair, minus of course the Thanksgiving/Callum's 2nd Birthday weekend which I will put in a separate entry. Really just a few photos to share.

A nice one of Callum enjoying some cow juice on the 8th.


We have managed to find some kid's music that is not totally nauseating, including a whole kid's album by the Barenaked Ladies. On it is a song called Popcorn that Callum is crazy about. So we decided to film it and show you the uncontrollable head movements that this song brings on.


On the 14th I was in San Diego for the last day of San Diego Beer Week. There were lots of great beers available, including this flight of sour beers (yes, beers that are purposely made to be sour).

For those who care, from left to right the beers were Gueze Fond Tradition, Echt Kriek, Rodenbach Grand Cru, Ballast Point Hout Cherry and New Belgium La Folie.

What Callum does when he is bored at a restaurant ...


On the 21st we went to the Christmas Tree Farm to find a tree because we knew we were going to be out of town over the Thanksgiving weekend (the following weekend) so we wanted to make sure the crop wasn't too picked over. This is Jen and Callum in front of the one we picked, which turned out to be much larger when we did get it in the lounge room.

At the farm they had pony rides and a petting zoo, so we indulged Callum in his first ever ride on a real horse after we picked our tree.

Callum then went into the petting zoo where there were chickens, sheep, rabbits and 1 Llama. The Llama must have been at least 5 feet tall, so it towered over Callum, and yet Callum proceeded to try and tickle the Llama's belly. Jen and I have no explanation as to where he got the idea from, but we were in hysterics watching it happen. The most surprising part is we didn't get a photo of it. Gasp!
