Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze!

Last Saturday we went to the Mosby Brothers Farm located off of Hwy. 18 with some of our friends. As soon as we got there we went on a hayride tractor-pulled. It was fun and the kids loved it.

El Sábado pasado fuimos a Mosby Brothers Farm con unos amigos. Tan pronto como llegamos nos dieron una vuelta por la granja en unos vagones llenos de paga jalados por un tractor. Fue divertido y a los niños les encantó.

Isabelle was asleep the whole ride!

Isabelle durmió durante el paseo en los vagones!

I thought it was going to be cold out there and I got my kids dressed like Eskimos :o)
Pensé que iba a hacer frío y vestí a mis hijos como Esquimales :o)

She didn't want her picture taken!

Ella no quería que le tomara fotos!

After that we enter the Corn Maze! In the beginning the boys separated from the girls and wanted to know if we could figure it out. Of course, after a few attempts we had to join them because it was not too easy. Jer and I had to hold Isabelle most of the time (she didn’t want to walk). It was a lot of fun finding the checkpoints throughout the maze and the kids took turns punching each number.

Después entramos en un laberinto de maíz! Al principio los hombres se separaron de las mujeres y querían saber si nosotras podiamos encontrar la salida. Por supuesto, después de intentarlo varias veces tuvimos que unirnos a ellos porque no era tan fácil. Jer y yo tuvimos que cargar a Isabelle todo el tiempo (ella no quiso caminar). Fue divertido encontrar los puntos marcados en la mapa y los niños les gusto perforar cada número.

Okay, here are the masters of the corn maze! hmmm... lets go this way!

Bueno, aquí están los maestros del laberinto de maíz! hmmm... vamos por este camino!Yea! we found the exit!
Sí! encontramos la salida!We had a great afternoon with our family and the Nelsons. Everyone was tired and ready to go home.

La pasamos muy bien con nuestra familia y los Nelson. Cada quien estaba cansado y listo para ir de regreso a casa.

Naomi and her Bangs

Naomi had been asking for bangs for the last few months. Jer and I always said NO because we think she looks okay without them. One night she begged enough that we had to agree. I cut her bangs the next morning and she was so happy that asked me to take pictures of her. I can’t believe how much she looks like me now.

Naomi estuvo pidiendo que le cortara fleco estos últimos meses. Jer y yo siempre le dijimos que NO porque pensamos que ella se ve major sin fleco. Una noche ella nos rogó tanto que tuvimos que estar de acuerdo en hacerlo. Le corté su fleco al siguiente día y ella estaba tan felíz que me pidió que le tomara fotos. No puedo creer lo tanto que se parece a mi ahora.

Isn't she beautiful!

Snoqualmie Falls

Snoqualmie Falls is one of my favorite places to go. One day we packed some lunch and took the family to Snoqualmie.
Las cataratas de Snoqualmie son una de mis favoritas para ir a pasear. Un día empacamos almuerzo y llevamos a la familia para comer al aire libre cerca de las cataratas.

We walked down close to the water and found a cave to eat our sandwiches.

Caminamos cerca del agua y encontramos una cueva para comer nuestros sandwiches.

Ariana was excited to climb on the rocks without falling!

Ariana estaba tan emocionada de subir las piedras sin caerse!

Even though it was a warm day the water is very cold. Isabelle started walking in the water and got her feet wet.

Aunque el día era cálido el agua es muy fría. Isabelle empezó caminando en el agua y se mojó los pies.Then she got her pants a little bit wet.

Después ella se mojó un poquito el pantalón.Well, it was too much fun splashing around and got her pants all wet.

Bueno, era tan divertido salpir el agua que ella mojó todo su pantalón. Hurray for water!Yep, she took her pants off! Ella se quitó el pantalón!
She took her underwear and shirt off... yes, she got naked! I tryed to get her dress a few times but she found a little puddle where she played until she got cold.

Ella se quitó el calzón, la blusa...sí, ella quedó desnudita! Yo traté de vestirla varias veces pero ella encontró un charquito donde se puso a jugar hasta que le dió frío.

At the end we had to get all the kids get their feet wet.

Al final dejamos que todos se mojaran los pies.

Night at Redondo Beach

Before summer was over we had a warm wonderful weekend. That Saturday night we took all the kids to Redondo Beach. When we got there Naomi cried for something, I’m not sure what. Ariana and André went for a walk finding rocks. Naomi, Isabelle and Ruby played in the sand and made sand angels. André built something with all the logs he was able to lift.

Antes que terminó el verano tuvimos un fin de semana con un clima muy cálido. Ese Sábado en la noche llevamos a los niños a la Playa Redondo. Al principio Naomi lloró por algo que ni recuerdo que fue. Ariana y André fueron a caminar en la playa buscando por piedras. Naomi, Isabelle y Ruby jugaron en la arena todo el tiempo. André encontró unos pedazos de Madera y se puso a construir algo.

There she is... crying again! Little "Titi"

Naomi, Ruby and Titi (a.k.a. Isy)
André building something with logs.

My battery died before I could take pictures of Ariana :o(
Mi batería se acabó antes de que pude tomarle fotos a Ariana :o(

Ringling Bros. and Barnun and Bailey Circus

A few weeks ago Jer and I bought some tickets for the circus! That day I went to pick up the kids at school and told them about our plans. They didn’t show any enthusiasm for it (I guess they didn’t know what to expect). André said “can we play there?” I told them about the clowns, animals, magic shows, etc. Naomi then said “that sounds boring”. So, I got worried that they would not like it and I just paid for 6 tickets, very expensive ones!!! Anyway, Jer and I had to be positive and make our family night fun.

Hace unas semanas Jer y yo conseguimos tickets para el circo! Ese día yo fuí a traer a los niños a la escuela y les dije acerca de nuestros planes. Ellos no mostraron ningún entusiasmo (me imagino que no sabía que esperar). André dijo “podemos jugar allí?” Yo les dije que había payasos, animales, magia, etc. Naomi entonces dijo “eso suena aburrido”. Entonces, me preocupe que no les gustaría y yo acababa de pagar 6 tickes, muy caros por cierto!!! De todas maneras, Jer y yo decidimos tener una actitud positiva y hacer nuestra noche familiar divertida.

We got there one hour early and we had the opportunity to walk around, try some of the costumes and see the elephants.

Llegamos una hora más temprano y tuvimos la oportunidad de caminar alrededor, probar los trajes y ver a los elefantes.

We don't like clowns, but here they are... playing musical chairs.

The show began!These little asian kids were amazing!

We saw the elephants playing basket ball, painting and doing a show. The magician disappeared an elephant! That was cool.

The tigers were awesome too! Naomi enjoyed the show.
At the end we had a successful night!

It was an amazing show and we thought it was worth it.

Al final tuvimos una noche exitosa!

Fue un show impresionante y pensamos que valió la pena.

Anyone who bought a bag of cotton candy got a magician hat. We didn't buy any because each bag was $12. At the end of the show a couple gave those to our kids, I guess they didn't want them :o)

Cualquiera que compró una bolsa de algón recibió un sombrero de mago. Nosotros no los compramos porque valían $12 cada uno. Al final del show una pareja regaló los suyos a nuestros hijos, me imagino que ellos no los querían :o)
