Pumpkin Patch!

On sunday we ventured down to a cider mill/pumpkin patch/petting zoo. We had a nice time. Enjoyed an apple fritter and a cider slush. Jack got to see alot of animals, and play around on the hay and with the pumpkins.

Olympic Peninsula cont...

Hoh Rain Forest. Lots of big, big trees...and lots of creepy moss. Not as fun as the beach, but still very pretty. Also, Jack enjoyed wearing his socks as mittens.

--the house we rented for the weekend, on Lake Sutherland.



--Jack's first sink bath, on Friday night.



--mist on the lake Saturday morning.



--mike's raccoon friend. jack and i never got to see him.
















--our first adventure was to "second beach", near La Push (on the coast). mike carried jack in the pack, and had to crawl over all sorts of washed up logs. jack ate some dirt, and i took lots of pictures. awesome!

ps. one of us was more tired than the others at the end. :)

dad is still funny.

we love blocks!

dad does most of the building, and jack handles the demolition and the eating of the pieces.

thank you to great grandpa jim for the awesome set of blocks!

new backpack

jack seems to really like his new ride. i really like it too, except for the fact that he spends most of the time in his seat pulling my hair...
