Autumn & Kalina

Today we went with Mommy, Jeffrey, Caitlin, and Ry to a pumpkin patch.  This place had lots more than just pumpkins though!  It had animals, bouncy houses, haystack mazes, rope mazes, a town, barrel train, hay rides, and room to run.  Plus we had corn dogs and pulled pork sandwiches for lunch!

This year, Mommy remembered that a wagon would be good for this kind of place.  Since we didn’t have a stroller she figured the babies could use the wagon and I could walk.  Boy was she wrong!

Actually, I got out soon after and the babies walked a lot of the time too.  Look at the chicken and the mooooo cow!

See the sheep-it was too busy eating to talk to us.

Maybe I can pet the goat instead.

Here’s the bouncy house.  Autumn cried the whole time inside and I didn’t even go near it!

Next we went on the barrel train. I helped uncle Jeffrey pull the babies in the wagon.

The barrels didn’t have any seats so you really can’t see Autumn sitting inside.

We climbed the stairs of the castle and found this spot to have a snack and stomp out feet.

From the castle we could see a rope maze down below. We had lots of fun going through the maze.

At the end of the maze we found a pirate.  She even shared some of her pirate treasure with us-a Starburst!

More running and fun.

Playing in the rope maze was so much fun that we headed to the haystack maze next.

Here’s some pictures of the “town” that they created.

We stopped to take some pictures with pumpkins.

Next was the hayride to the pumpkin patch.  Mom was showing Jeff what it would look like when they had another baby!

Pumpkins!

This was the ride back to our wagon.  Everyone was holding their pumpkins.

After pumpkin picking we headed to the grass area to have lunch.  We shared a pulled pork sandwich.  It was yummy!  Then we had some time to run and play!

One last look at the animals while Mommy and Jeffrey paid for our pumpkins.

From tank tops and shorts to long pants, jackets, and SNOW!

The next weekend we went to Aspen.  We stayed at a place in town and some of us had lots of fun.  Friday we left after school and when we got there we got on our jackets and loaded up in the stroller for a walk in town.  We had dinner at Boogie’s and played at a little playground.  By that night Autumn had a little fever.

When we woke up Saturday there was a little snow falling so everything got a dusting of snow.  Most of it melted by mid afternoon when the sun was shining.  From our balcony you could see a lift up the mountain.

Saturday we got up and went to breakfast at a place called Poppycock’s.  Autumn was getting whiny so we went back home.  Dad and I headed out to a different park by the river while Autumn took a nap.  After we played at the park we explored the town and got sandwiches at the deli.  We brought the sandwiches back to Mom and Autumn.  Later Dad and I went back out to play again and explore some more of Aspen.  This time we brought back italian food for dinner.  That night we read books with Daddy and got to have some hot chocolate!

While we were out exploring Autumn did a lot of resting and some coloring.

She must not have been feeling well because she even snuggled with Mommy-and she NEVER sits still!

Sunday we got up and packed up to go.  We decided that we’d show Mom and Autumn our fun park we found.  Autumn didn’t really feel like playing though.

This was across the street from the park.

This was a hideout for my leaves.

This bridge was really wobbly, but I could do it!

Remember I said that we went exploring?  Well, we really did explore-see.

A few more minutes on the playground and then we had to go because Autumn was cranky.

This drive to the mountains Dad wanted to go on a different road.  We drove over Independence Pass.  Towards the top there was lots of snow already.  At the top you could stop and walk to a look out.

See that man by the car?  He was riding a unicycle up the mountain.  It turns out this September he rode his unicycle to the top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, this summer he also rode every pass that crossed the Continental Divide in CO.

Walking to the lookout

Pretty picture

See the lookout?

Well, we never actually made it all the way there because from where mom is standing is when I decided I had to go potty.  Mom snapped a few quick pictures and then we hurried down the path so I could go!

These were a few pictures she took driving down.  We don’t know what is what in these pictures, but Dad says that some of those peaks are part of the Collegiate Peaks, the tallest ones in Colorado.

Last weekend we took a trip out to Heritage Square.  We went last year, but this time Autumn was big enough to ride on the rides.  We all got to go on the Alpine slide too!

Riding on the Merry-Go-Round

Riding the banana’s. Mine stayed down the whole time, but Autumn made hers go up and down, and up and down!

This is the hot air balloon ride.

Autumn didn’t really like this ride or the train.  the train was to bumpy for her.

Then we went on the swans.  (That’s Daddy’s booty!)  He did all the pedaling.  We just went along for the ride.

Since we were all on the slide we couldn’t take any pictures, but after the ride we had a treat!

My silly sister copies everything I do!

Stripping for the camera?

Copycat #2

There was a wooden toy store there.  We each got to pick a plane to take home.
