Thomasson Family Farm-Pumpkin Patch

Today our school had a field trip.  We went to a pumpkin patch.  Mom told me that we came here last year, but did not fully embrace all the activities, like we did this year.  We went with Gabbi & her Mom.

 We arrived 40 minutes early, so we had to stay entertained while the rest of the kids and their parents came.

 We took one of these silly photos.  They had lots of photo opportunities around the farm

 We started going on a hay ride out to the pumpkins.  I would not do this last year.

 Gabbi & I had to pick out a pumpkin.

 I liked this little one.

 We had to wait again, because the school was divided in half for the hay ride. Gabbi found a beetle.

 And I pumped water.

 I enjoyed going up the slide.

 The best part of the trip was jumping in the corn.  I loved this, so did most of the kids.

 There was also a hay bale play ground.  This was fun too.

 At the very end, we got some ice cream.  Wow, it was 3 hours of non stop activity.

Snoqualmie Falls

I really like waterfalls.  Fortunately, my grandparents did something about it.  They drove me out to Snoqualmie Falls on Sunday.  It's a really big waterfall.

 Unfortunately, there was a lot of mist in the air.  It really is a lovely waterfall.

 Here I am with Grandma Jeanie.

 Near the waterfall, there was a train (out-of service).  I got to play with the gears.

Grandma & Grandpa brought a picnic lunch.  It was a fun morning.

Redondo Beach, WA

This Saturday, I hung out with Nobu at Redondo Beach.  My grandparents like to bring me here from time to time.  This beach has the 3rd largest aquarium in Washington State.  

 Nobu and I got to feed the starfish.  Mom thought they were spooky but that didn't stop me from giving them pieces of fish.  We feed those big orange ones.

 When I was done, I pulled y sleeves down.  It was really cold this morning, but things were starting to warm up.

 I like this place.  Nobu was looking in the binoculars at something.

 It was high tide so there was barely any beach.  Lots of scuba divers tough.  I threw rocks.

 Both Nobu & I played on the beach.  What you don't see is that a bald eagle flew up behind us, caught a fish in the water and then flew back toward Salt Water State Park.  Mom was cursing because she forgot which pocket she put in her camera.  Anyway, it was an amazing sight.

We had a good morning and then we went to McDonald's were we ate lunch and played in the kid's habitrail.  Mom and Nobu's mo were laughing, because all that is missing is a water bottle and a wheel.

Grand View-Dog Park

It has been sunny and nice around here recently.  Mom still takes me to the dog park every day.  The sky was blue and the clouds were white and puffy.

 Lately, we have been seeing a lot of small breed dogs.  I like Pomeranians, pugs, and basically all small dogs.  I told Mom that I wanted 6 Poms and 2 black pugs.  Mom asked what I wanted to name my pugs and I told her "Dork & Dammit".  She couldn't stop laughing.  I am such a creative name giver.

She asked me if I wanted any big dogs and I told her: "No, I already have one."

Spanish Class-Darcy Read Coop Preschool

 Since it's October, Teacher Maria decided to dedicate this week's class about spiders.  The spider's have been out in abundance and getting really big.  We started class by making spider's out of marshmallows and pretzels.  Several kids consumed all of the spider's made in the class.

 They do look yummy.  Mom was surprised that I resisted.

 Teacher Maria had us singing the "itsy bitsy spider" in Spanish.

 We went outside to look for spider's in the church's garden.

 I looked under things....

and in things, but I did not have much luck in spider and bug hunting.  Oh well.  It was fun to look anyway.

The things that Mom knits me......

Fall is really here, we woke up and it was kind of cold.

 New painting from school...

 Mom knit me a Totoro Hat from the Japanese movie "My Neighbor Totoro".  We love this movie, it's good for both kids and parents.

 This is what the hat looks like off my head.  This is O Totoro, a Japanese tree spirit.

The Viking costume just needs the side ties-to keep it from sliding around.  Ravelry-and International internet site for knitter's and crocheter's wants to "feature" my costume soon.  Mom is honored.  She's hoping to get a better picture of me in it.

The Bouncy Place-Fall Fund Raiser

September went out with a party!  Our school has a yearly fund raiser at the Bouncy Place in Kent, WA.  It was a blast!  I had 2-1/2 hours running around with my dad and friends from school.

I got really sweaty!

They have some new bouncy stuff.

 Mom hung out by the Silent Auction Area, in case any one had questions.

Ok, not the most flattering picture, but I was having a ton of fun.

I was so tired by this awesome experience that I actually wet my bed that night.  I was so tired, I didn't even know I had to pee! (And I usually do-I wake Mom up for an escort to the toilet.)
