Trunk or Treat!!!! 2010

This was a ton of fun.

Fall Festival with our church in NJ

We set up tons of games and bouncy castles, etc. and then had 'trunk n treating' in our car's trunks. The kids loved it! We had over 250 kids come through and enjoy the day with their families.

This is Batkwada. He wanted our pumpkins in the worst way. So....at the end of our fall festival he got them!! I bet they looked great after he carved them!!!

Happy Halloween 2010

Rowing facility in Princeton NJ

The original building dates back to the 1800s. It is totally renovated and beautiful inside. What a fun time touring this facility with Kris...one of the US Olympic Rowing coaches. He also took us past The Institue of Higher Thinking where Einstein studied! This place has history galore...very interesting.

The area in Princeton is beautiful where the training facility resides.

This is our neighbor and dear friend Kris who is one of the lead coaches for our US team. He was in China this past olympics. He is explaining to us about the boats which are really really long! The boat on top is the boat the team won the gold in!

This is where our US Olympic rowers train in an inside rowing tank...really cool. There is a big engine under the floor that creates a current and they row row row their boat!!!
