Pumpkins, Vacation and Halloween....OH MY!

We went back to the pumpkin patch this year.  It was WAY more fun now that we can walk around and enjoy all the activities and people watching.  Mommy got some good pictures.  It was also a little cloudy so you can actually see our faces this year.  Last year we just looked at the ground because it was so bright!

 For our next adventure we went on a vacation to Florida!!  Mommy and Daddy put us in the car at bedtime on Friday night and we drove to Jackson, MS.  We got checked into our hotel room around 2am.  We went right back to sleep the second our pack-n-plays were up!  Then Saturday morning we woke Mommy and Daddy up promptly at 7am and were ready to hit the road again after a quick continental breakfast.  This particular Hampton Inn only had one high chair in their dining room.  Thanks Hampton....that was super.  We had about 5 hours left to go before arriving in Florida.  On the way there, we had our very first Happy Meal!  Mommy and Daddy were a little excited about that and took lots of pictures.  We cleaned up every bit of food too!

Nastiest playground EVER
Then we finally made it to the beach!!

 
Anna was NOT a fan of the beach.  It is a little noisy and very dirty.  She preferred her spot on Grammy's lap and that was pretty much where she stayed every time we went to the beach.  She even made sand castles in Grammy's lap!
 
Grace warmed up a little more than Anna did.  She was getting quite a bit braver by the end of the week.  She even went to chase a big puppy she saw.  Can you spot the puppy in this picture?  I'll give you a hint...it has feathers.
 
Grace even tried her hand at some fishing!

We had a really great time at the beach!!

Mommy and Daddy had a lot of fun too. 




The fish (shark, sting ray, submarine??) in the picture below got away after at least a 20 minute battle.  We don't know what it was, but it was HUGE and Grampy had to help Daddy hold the pole a little ways into the battle. 






 
And that brings us to Halloween!  We had a little neighborhood get together.  We were a bunny and a poodle and we were super cute.  We had a lot of fun playing and running around with the big kids.  We didn't go trick-or-treating this year, but maybe next year.  Mommy doesn't really let us have candy yet and it was our bedtime so we hit the hay and Mommy and Daddy passed out candy.  It was a really fun evening!!
