Pumpkin Patch 11

We were up in Beaverton for the weekend so we decided to go with Grandma and Grandpa Allen to the pumpkin patch. We were so glad because Travis was actually able to come with us this year. We go to the Lake View farms one in North Plains which we love.
McKenna was so excited to ride the train and the barrel ride. It was so much more fun for Graysen too since he was just a little one when we went last yearThe kids had a blast riding the train, Kenna got a little scared when we went through the tunnel where there are scary things in there, but she still liked it.
We got to the pumpkin patch and Kenna and Graysen helped us with the wheelbarrow so we could get our pumpkins.
Graysen and Kenna both picked out the pumpkins they wanted and they did a great job!
Graysen would try to pick up the bigger pumpkins and would just grunt and get frustrated that he couldn't pick them up.
He was so excited about all the pumpkins and just kept running around and saying "ooh" It was really funny to watch. Kenna was content on rolling them all over the place and putting them in the wheelbarrow and trying to help push it.

They played in the hay bale maze which they both thought was pretty neat and loved just running around in there with all the other kids. They also climbed on top of the hay bale mountain

We took the boat back which was fun because there were sea monsters that popped out of the lake and a shark which McKenna thought was so cool.
Kenna got to ride in a barrel pulled by a tractor which was really fun for her. I loved seeig the esxcitement and joy on her face. She was so happy that grandma and grandpa treated her to a fun ride.

We had a lot of fun and will definately be going there next year again. It was so nice of Grandma and Grandpa Allen to be able to share this fun time with us too and we were glad they came with us.

Fun days at the Park

We have been trying to go to the park as much as possible before the rainy season begins and we are confined indoors. McKenna and Graysen love the park and get so excited every time I ask them if they want to go.
They have a lot of fun playing with eachother and it is so nice that they can entertain themselves for the most part when we are there. They each have their own thing that they like to do.

Graysen's favorite thing to do at the park (aside from trying to drink out of the dog water fountain) is to go down the slide. He will just climb up the stairs and go down the slide over and over again. He just loves it! His face is so cute and he tries to climb up it but he just falls down and laughs.

McKenna used to really love swings, but her new love is the Monkey Bars. She is so good at them. She used to be only able to do about one or two, but she just kept practicing and now can go back forth at will. She is so strong and so proud of herself. It makes me so happy that she has that kind of focus and determination to keep trying something until she figures it out. She does that with everything and I think that is so awesome.

I love my little monkey and my sliding man. I am glad they like playing outside so much and it is nice to be able to get out of the house. I can't wait to see what their new loves will be in a few months or if they will stay the same.
