Boo at the Zoo

So this past saturday Steve, Me, Leah, Landon, Aunt Charity, Uncle Eric, Alyssa, and Andrew all ventured down to the Zoo to celebrate "Boo at the Zoo". Kind of funny, although we have only lived here for a little over a year, this is our 3rd year in a row that we have gone to "Boo at the Zoo", guess we are gonna have to make it a tradition, as long as the kids want to go. It is fun for the kids, there are people dressed up as various character like Tigger, a penguin, and a fake Winnie the Pooh and they give the kids candy....I know just what Leah needs, cause I am sure she won't get enough next weekend, right:) Here are some pictures of our fun:



Our Little Incredible Hulk (no extra padding needed)

Here are a couple of pictures from the previous years that we attended


Here is Leah and Mommy in OCT 07, our first visit to Boo at the Zoo when we came to "Visit" Chris and Theresa and the girls
Our picture on the bridge in OCT 08, we are gonna have to take this picture every year now to see how the times change
Last year Mema was up here visiting us for the first time after we moved up to Boise

Leah loves the Giraffe Slide

Leah's first field trip with Preschool

Today Leah, Landon, and I made a trip down to Linder Farms Pumpkin Patch to meet up with the rest of her class and enjoy some fun activities. First we went to the hay bail maze.




Next we went over and learned how to pick our very own pumpkin....they taught the kids not to pick them up by the stems, but to scoop them up with both hands....as demonstrated here


Then we went out into the field and Leah picked her very own pumpkin, I didn't help her at all, she had fun doing this.

"No, not this pupmkin, it's not big enough"

"Maybe this one"

"this thing is heavy, but I can carry it all by myself"

Next we went over to the tractor and went on a hayride, Leah was really looking forward to this part.




After the hayride we went over to pet the ponies, they were kind of scared of us, but Leah did get to pet one of them for a little bit


Next we went over to the education center to learn the life cycle of a pupmkin.

This is Leah's teacher Mrs. Lawson



Last we went over tothe picinic tables and had some popcorn and juice...all that picking pumpkins and running around sure can work up an appetite



Finally the kids took a group picture before we left. This is all the 4 year olds and the 3 year olds mixed together.


In this picture the kids are singing their good-bye song "Polly-Wolly Doodle"

It was alot of fun at the pumpkin patch, I am sure it is the first of many field trips I will get to go on with Leah.

Leah is growing up....

So she has officially learned how to swing herself....I am kind of grateful because i don't have to push her all the time now, but I am also kind of sad because that means she is growing up, she isn't my baby anymore. It is really cute though, she likes to go in the backyard and just swing and makeup songs and talk to the dogs. I do enjoy that i am able to be in the kitchen or dining room and watch her while I am getting stuff done. I guess this is the first of many things that she will not need mommy and daddy for....not looking forward to it.
