Gone Fishing!

Jace
September was a busy month with canning pears, tomatoes and freezing corn and spaghetti sauce, but now our pantry and freezer is filled with yummy fresh food!  Maren and I harvested some corn and tomatoes while our moms canned pears, and we even ate some raw corn at grandma's before they cooked and cut it off the cob:) Bella and I painted pasta for bracelets and played super hero's a lot while daddy and mama were busy. For their anniversary, we went to a cabin at Hyatt lake and went paddle boarding and fishing and got introduced to Saturday morning cartoons of Tom and Jerry. It was cracking us up!  We had a nice hike, played at the playground and had a picnic while we were there. It was still warm outside,so we didn't wear much while daddy and mama reroofed the wood shed and painted it.

I loved the fresh pears, corn and most of all mama's homemade tomato soup with fresh tomatoes (actually it's the grilled cheese that I love, but I tell mama it is her soup;) I love when Ryne and baby paisley come over to play, because I like being bigger than someone. I play peek a boo with her and make her laugh. One day while I was running around outside naked, I got stung by a bee right in the bum!  It hurt really bad and mama had to pull the stinger out. We didn't have much luck fishing at the lake, but we sure did have fun! I'm finally entertaining the idea of peeing on the potty again.

Dinosaur Adventure!

Jace and Bella
We went on an awesome adventure to a dinosaur park and the beach. Miss Audra rented a big blue car that all of our car seats fit in and we headed out after workout. We stopped for a picnic lunch at Jedidiah Smith campground. After our picnic lunch we went for a nature walk through the redwoods. It was fun, and the trees were huge! After getting our energy out, we all took a nap until we got to the place we were staying.  It was right on the beach, but we just dropped off our stuff, plugged in the crock pot to warm up dinner, and headed to the dinosaur park. We all got a map and we started walking around the park to see all of the huge dinosaur statues. We walked around the trail and read all about each dinosaur and had so much fun. Miss Audra got us matching dinosaur pj's and we wore the tops to the park. When we got back to where we stayed, we ate soup and then went to the beach in our pajamas. We played in the sand and in a fort that someone built out of driftwood. We went back the next morning and built sand castles, blew bubbles and ran from the waves in the ocean. We had a great time, but had to head home. We napped, watched movies and also went to the wildlife safari for a short stop on our way home. What a great trip to end the summer!
