Jonathan & Lindsey's Family Blog

Here’s the rest of what we were up to in October…

We carved pumpkins with the kids the weekend before Halloween. It was a little stressful, but overall was successful. Each designed and carved their own pumpkin with varying degrees of help and no one was injured.

This year the Snoqualmie River flooded and affected the local pumpkin patches in Fall City. We heard they were giving away free pumpkins that had been washed up in the flood. This sounded like a great deal to us, plus we wanted to help support the farm and buy some of their other treats. Afterward we visited Snoqualmie Falls, which was still going strong, though not as much as earlier in the week. Finally we went for a family walk on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail.

We pulled off family photos by ourselves again this year. Between Jonathan, myself, the tripod, and our new selfie stick we managed to get some cute ones! The kids are becoming much more cooperative as they age, so that certainly helps too!

Avery, Layla and I went to visit Grammy and Papa one weekend in October. We had so much fun we stole Grammy and brought her back with us for the week. Here are some shots of our time at their house.
