Halloween

We met up with our PEPS group so the kids could get some Halloween pics together... Fi went as a ladybug. Well, if you count wearing ladybug pajamas with a ladybug dress over them "going as a ladybug", then we're golden!

She's darn cute though:


And here's the group shot:

Pumpkin Patch Time

We visited the pumpkin patch and had to walk the corn maze and enjoy the hay ride.

Here is mama chasing the family through the corn maze...


And getting ahead of everyone...


Fi found a new friend in the petting zoo...


And with her favorite friend A, getting a ride through the pumpkins in the patch.

Sorely missing Hawaii beaches...

Need I say more?

HAWAII!!

We went on a Hawaiian adventure with some friends of ours. We got to stay on the magical island of Maui. Here are some pics...



Obligatory sunset photo:
We took a helicopter tour and Fi slept through the whole thing...
Catamaran tour brought a dolphin sighting:
Fi was in love with the chickens.
Fi and her papa going into the ocean:
Oh, and there's a baby on the way! Here's the baby bump...
G molesting the baby bump at the luau...
And our friends just a little too happy at the luau...

All in all, a fantastic trip.

San Juan Island visit

We went up to the San Juans Islands to visit my friend R and his boys. It was a misty rainy sort of trip.

Discovery Park

We went on a hike at Discovery Park with D & G - Here's Fi and G at the main lookout, checking out the sound and the Olympics:


We made it down to the beach, and Fi took off with D:

Here's the cutie at the water's edge...


And a jellyfish we found:

Hurray for summer beach days!

Park with Grandpa

We went to the Chittenden locks to view the fish ladder. We also walked through the adjacent botanical gardens.
