Cheese-Mo

Alestair loves the camera and poses for it. I was trying to get a picture of his messy hair but he was cheesing for the camera :)

Waiting to go in-Playing on the pumpkin pile!

Alestair and I found the Corn Pit! It was a lot like the wheat tent from Easter but this was much bigger and all corn. It was very hard to walk in it but tons of fun! The Straw Pyramid! No Robert didn't get stuck but it sure looks like that...

Alestair loved it after he decided it was ok to touch the straw with his hands Alestair had no fear getting from the top of the pyramid to the bottom. He jumped and I could hardly keep a hold on him. There were a few times that I thought he was just going to fall all the way down. There was a petting zoo. Alestair LOVED the animals. It was the first time that he liked the bunnies. His favs were the pigs and calves. Aunt Heather let us feed some of the animals with the food she bought for them. Alestair really thought that was neat. THANK YOU!

Picking our pumpkins!

The Whole Party!

BOOTS!!

I bought myself some rainboots since I really don't like having wet socks and its getting wet here. Alestair loves to put them on and hide things in them its really cute!

Cider Pressing!!!

A most fun tradition of my family is cider pressing! Aunt Wendy met us at the Meeker Mansion in Puyallup to do this. We ended up with 6 1/2 gallons of cider! The man in the picture is Alan Manning. He made the cider press himself and sent me the plans to build it. It was soo much fun! Alestair had a great time. He ran around eating apples and getting into things. Aunt Wendy bought him two squishy rubber ducks. So much fun!!!

1st Airplane!

Our dear friend Bill Linquist asked us to come when he went through the temple before we moved up here. We promised and the day came so we made a trip to LA! We were lucky enough to find very good fairs on Virgin Air and went by plane. Alestair LOVED the airport and watching all of the planes come and go while waiting for ours. The Seattle airport is very very nice especially at 6 in the morning. Alestair fell asleep as soon as the landing came off the runway and didn't wake up until we just before we landed. Absoultly no crying and perfect behavior. Nothing like we expected. He did this on the ride home as well. Virgin Air is a very fun plane-they have a TV screen for each person you can watch movies, tv, or your flight. You can order food from your seat and you are sitting in leather seats very cushy. We were very pleased!

This is what we got to sit next to wait for our plane. It is a mosaic but doesn't look like it. It was amazing. So I took a picture. I really wanted to just chop it down and take it home with me but that wouldn't work. Anyway now you all know what to get me for Christmas:)

The Western Washington Fair Grounds

Grandma Fee and Aunt Stacy came up to go to the Puyallup Fair with us. It was a blast! We went on a sky ride that took us over the fair to the other side where we got lost for the 3rd time. We also saw many many cute little animals. Alestair's favorite were the little tiny chicks (in the picture) they were so adorable. He didnt like the bunnies much but loved the pigs and cows. He went on his first bus ride and really liked to pull the stop alarm. It was a great day!
