Sunday Leaves

Charlotte and I went and played in the pretty leaves the other day. I love how pretty and bright it gets around here from all the leaves

Arboretum in the Fall

We went to the arboretum a few weeks ago to get some pictures like the ones we did last year. I think we went a little later this year and a lot of the leaves had already fallen, but it was still beautiful. Charlotte had a blast running through the leaves. 

In an old house in Paris that was covered in vines...

 Happy Halloween from Madeline, Miss Clavell and the Spanish Ambassador! We had a blast trick or treating with Charlotte. Well, when she actually decided to walk up and get the candy herself instead of making us get it:) We had a Halloween feast of beef stew in a pumpkin, rolls, and a pumpkin cake after. Yummy!

Bob's Corn

The rain finally cleared up yesterday, so we decided to go to a pumpkin patch. We met up with one of Charlotte's friends and walked around the pumpkin patch. Charlotte and her friend loved playing with the enormous pumpkins in the pumpkin patches, but decided that they preferred the tiny pumpkins. I love Fall in Washington. 

 Seriously, she loved the pumpkins...

 That's Charlotte's friend with the mohawk on the right. She wasn't so sure about him...:)

This is the cow train. We didn't ride because we thought that Charlotte would jump out or something. Maybe in a few years. 

Green Lake, Christmas Cookies, and Funny Faces

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. My camera broke and due to depression/nothing exciting happening/Brad's camera was in the car I haven't done any posts until now. We went to Green Lake on Thursday and walked around. It was pretty, but our adventure was cut short because of the rain(I know, we should probably be used to it by now..:)

Here we are hiding from the rain under a tree. We were the only ones hiding from the rain...

 These are Charlotte's new camera faces. She looked just fine until I pressed the button on the camera. Then she whipped out her crazy face and crooked teeth. The girl loves the camera. Maybe that's what she thinks I look like when we take pictures?:)

Uncle Andrew comes to town

Uncle Andrew came to visit this weekend for an early Thanksgiving trip. It was great to have him here as our first official house guest. We drove around the city and ate at some of the best local fast food places. We tried to go to the coast so that he could compare it to Hawaii, but it was super rainy and cold and the hike to the beach was much longer than we thought, so Charlotte, the voice of reason (ok, she screamed) decided that we should turn back. It was pretty even though it was wet and freezing.
