Field Trip

Owen had his first preschool field trip today. So, I left Henry with Suzi and her four kids (who taught Henry to growl) and Owen and I went to Plumper Pumpkin Patch with a bunch of three year olds.

It was so nice to have some me and Owen time, and not worry about the hay and animals being bad for Henry. At the duck race, Owen stood at the bottom and stirred the "soup". He added butter and milk to the duck soup.





While he passed on the slides, he loved climbing up the hay pyramid. Even losing his boots, he had a great time.



The class.




There's chickens behind that fence.



Post field trip snack.

Random

Here are a few pictures from the past week. This is Henry looking at the fish in the main lobby of the hospital before he got his PEG tube switched to a MIC-KEY button. Up at Casey Eye Institute, where Lucas works. He's turning into quite the little ham.





We fed the ducks. Owen brought some music "for the ducks". He's so thoughtful and sweet.



On steroid week, even two forks isn't enough sometimes!

Shadows

Henry is practicing his shadow puppet of Darth Vader. Owen is practicing his shadow puppet of "floating head". (where's his neck?!)





Impromtu Beach Trip

We had an impromtu beach trip the other day. We opted to leave after lunch, and hoped the kids would take a car nap. Owen pretended to sleep. Henry actually passed out for most of the ride.

It was a beautiful day. Gorgeous. Amazing. And a lot of fun.

Both boys loved the water.

And both were great keeping their hats on.

Henry had no fear. He would just crawl into the water. Luckily, at Cannon Beach, there is a nice little "river" that stayed calm... the actual ocean and waves are back a lot further.

When they were done getting soaked and sandy, they crawled back to the blanket. (note Owen's britches falling down.



Again, no fear.

Wet pants off... underwear left on. He has a style only he can pull off.


Henry just had to be naked for a while. He had to dry off.

Quite possibly the best picture ever.

Fancy shot by Lucas.

We were going to stay and watch the sunset... but that was an adult idea, the kids had other plans. So, we drove home after dinner. It was a great impromtu trip.

Pumpking Patch Pictures

We journeyed to our local pumpkin patch again for a quick evening outing. It's fun free fall entertainment, and provides great chances for Lucas to practice is photography.

Here are some pictures of Owen over the past few days. Dancing on the "beach" he made.

Pumpking Patch

We went to the Plumper Pumpkin Patch this morning. While it was raining on our drive to the patch, it was a nice fall gray when we were there. No rain drops... just some mud. They had such a nice assortment of colors and shapes of pumpkins.


We asked Owen to pose for a photo. The following pictures are from about 30 seconds of pictures. They just make us laugh!










At first, Henry wasn't so sure about being around all the pumpkins... but he started to have a really good time.

Pretty green.

The boys.

Henry loves walking while holding Lucas' hand.







Orange!





Such sweet boys!



We finished the trip with some hot chocolate. Owen may have worn more than he drank.
