Pumpkin Patch

Sierra and Mason and I went to the pumpkin patch with Sierra's preschool. It was a lot of fun. The pumpkins were a little on the small side but the kids still had fun. There is a small petting zoo and a hay maze and hay pyramid. Here are pictures from the day at the patch.


Waiting for all of Sierra's class to arrive, there were large pumpkins to play on.



There is a cute spot to take pictures...I took a bunch and this is the best of them all.

Here is a picture of me and the kids after picking out our pumpkins

Mason found one he liked right away
Sierra trying to lift the one she liked (sorry the pic is sideways)

Westport

We took a weekend trip to Westport so Rich could go fishing with his friend Jim and so the kids could play in the sand at the ocean. It was a long car ride but the kids were troopers and survived the 6 hours in the car. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. I only hope we can get back there soon, as it was a lot of fun.




Here are the fish Rich caught. Mason is a little over 30 inches so you can see how big they were.




Sierra loved to play with the live bait Rich was using. She was "fishing"





Here we are at the Beach. The kids loved the sand and waves. We found quite a few sand dollars and Sierra managed to fall in the waves as she was running away. Needless to say it was a fun time.

Last warm day of summer

Fall is finally here but there was a few warm day last week and the kids went out to play. Rich is in the middle of a power upgrade for our house and shop so there was a large mount of dirt that he had left from the hole he is digging to install the new power box. Mason is all boy and is a magnet for dirt so of course this caught his eye. I could not keep him or Sierra out of the dirt so I gave in and grabbed my camera.

Here is my King of the Dirt Mountain

And Princess Dirt herself
Its hard to tell but he has just ate a handful of dirt!! YUCK!
My little man loves balls and is getting good at throwing them...or dropping them!

The kids were covered from head to toe in dirt so I gave them a quick shower with the hose. My little guy is a water bug and would not leave the hose alone. They had a blast and then went in for warm baths, with soap, in the tub!! :)
Mason laughing at the water as he chases it from side to side
Sierra stopping for a quick drink
Drenched from head to toe and still coming back for more

Fun with Friends

The kids and I went to Prosser with a friend and her daughters for the annual hot air balloon race. We were there friday night and there were no balloons to look however there were booths for the moms to look at and a huge slide to play on and ponies to ride on.

Down they come


Here Sierra comes

She loved the ponies and picked this one out herself
