Fun Weekend Happenings

This post probably has more than enough pictures, but then again I blog really for my mom to see Lenna, so pictures are good for Grandma! This weekend was a busy fun weekend. Friday we went to the zoo to check out the animals. Lenna I thought looked all grown up in her green sweater. She is looking more and more grown up everyday.
At the zoo we went and saw the bears. I rarely go see the bears, but they were both awake and close to the viewing area so it was fun to see them!I am not really sure if Lenna liked the bears. She definitely could see some of the animals because she is now riding forward facing in her strollers. Maybe she just looks scared because her lovely friends were entertaining her so much. However she in all honesty loves being entertained and was giggling while Esther played with her.The last few days Lenna has decided to take naps from like 3-6pm so it has given us an extra hour in the evening to take her out and about. Friday night we took advantage of her late nap to go out to eat. It has been a long time since we have been able to go out to eat and sit down. Lenna enjoyed playing with her toys and sitting in a high chair like a big girl.The next day we went up to Snohomish county to go pumpkin picking! We picked a certain farm because they had a pumpkin cannon. The cannon was definitely worth it! It was also fun to go pick out the pumpkins from the field something I had never done. We had a great time.
Lenna was basically distracted by all the orange things on the ground and we had a hard time having her look at the camera.A really hard time she just wanted to look at the strange orange things.We tried to get her height but she was to distracted by the rocks under her feet to stand up straight. She kept wanting to bounce up and down. Please note she is over 2 feet tall in real life.So she became almost my height.
We all got a pumpkin! This is the one I picked for myself.We put the kids in the farm animal shot. I just laugh every time I look at this picture because Lenna looks so silly.Dad had Lenna help with the pumpkin cannon. You can see the pumpkin we picked to fly in the video below.


Today Lenna got to wear a new dress. It is 12 month size! Sigh, my little girl really isn't little. I thought she looked adorable, but then I always think she looks adorable. Lenna managed to keep her shoes on the entire time we were at church! Maybe she really will be able to wear shoes!Other than the pictures we enjoyed doing yard work, watching a movie, going to a chili cook off and watching football this weekend. Jared also tried to kill our gopher. We have had gophers for the last 2 years and we can't seem to get rid of them. Maybe one day. Hope everyone had just as fun of weekends and we hope everyone has a great week!!!
