Halloween 2013

A fun filled day starting with a school party ending with a carnival and trick or treating. The little puppy and white ninja had a blast.

Go Lucas!

Lucas' class
 Our next door neighbor invited us to her church carnival for Halloween, so that's how we started our evening. Lots of games, bounce houses, crafts, hot dogs, trains, and candy!
This bike was connected to a giant contraption that turned when the kids road the bike.

Or course Frances wanted to give it a try

Columbus Day

October is flying by... I can't believe it is half over already! Yesterday, Lucas had a field trip to the pumpkin patch where we spent a lovely morning on a beautiful farm. We spent the rest of the afternoon walking the trails around our neighborhood, where we discovered an abandoned bulldozer. The kids had a great time climbing all over that!

Garden Pumpkins

On Earth Day Lucas planted our garden. He planted some pumpkin seeds and one magically grew, producing two beautiful little pumpkins. Yesterday we harvested them.
Here's to the beginning of Fall!

Puyallup Fair 2013

We all ditched school and work on Wednesday to enjoy a day at the Puyallup Fair (which was renamed this year to the Washington State Fair). We all had a great time - lots of junk food, games and rides - just what a fair should be...






To see this same picture from last year click here. It's amazing how they change in just 1 year!












 



Next year Frances will be old enough to ride more rides - she was pretty upset watching her brother go on all the rides without her.
It was a beautiful day at the fair - very memorable and always a great time!
