THE HARVEST FAIR

I'm rocking out to the folk music

My parents keep insisting that I put my head through this thing

I'm not to sure about this slide

I'm not to sure about petting this rooster

Hello, my mom doesn't understand that I don't like petting these animals but she keeps on insisting.

What a great way to spend my first weekend of fall at the Harvest Fair in Bainbridge Island. It was a festive affair. I danced to the folk music, petted the animals, and enjoyed a hay ride. My parents wanted me to pet the animals but I was a little apprehensive. I also enjoyed sipping on the apple cider and eating the homemade pies.

FIRST DAY IN PRE-SCHOOL

The play dough station was my favorite

I think I may be an artist, unlike my mom. I drew some interesting things.

I just started pre-school. I go to school every Thursdays from 9 am to 11 am. There are so many new activities.....the play dough station, coloring activities and all kinds of cool toys. We also have playtime outside. Teacher Ellen, then closes our session by singing and playing her guitar. I really enjoy school so far.

BOATING IN THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS

We just got back from an amazing vacation. We rented a 28 feet Bayliner boat and motored in the San Juan Islands for a week. I know my mom was a little worried on how I would behave on a boat but I think I passed the test. We went to 5 different islands. We hiked and ate a lot. The weather was perfect too.

HIKING IN THE MOUNTAINS

I'm back to blogging again. I know I was missing in action because our computer was down for awhile and the we just got back from vacation. I'll post all about our vacation in the next couple of days.

Well, these pictures are from a long hike we took in the Olympic mountains. It was really tiring for me as I just started walking but we completed the hike which was 6 miles. The viewpoints were amazing because you can see the San Juan Islands.

LAKE CHELAN

The water was a little cold but I eventually got use to it

KenCaid and I are lounging in the pool. We would play in the pool first and then take a dip in the lake.

The boat is going a little fast so I better hold on tight

This is the Gaten family and my parents

During dusk hours we motor out for the booze cruise.

We spent the weekend in Lake Chelan, WA with the Gatens Family. Some days reached 100 degrees but it didn't bother me because I was swimming in the lake or lounging on the boat. I enjoyed the evening boat rides or my parents called it the booze cruise. The nights were also break taking. All I know is that I had a blast and I hope we can go back soon.

GOOD CATHOLIC GIRL

This wasn't my favorite part of the ceremony

Another photo op

I love ice cream!

Well, I was just baptized a couple of weeks ago. I was baptized at St. Cecelia Church located in Bainbridge Island. Nana and Grandpa are also my godparents. I really didn't enjoy getting my head poured with the Holy water. It startled me and I started to cry a little. After the ceremony was over we bbq at our house.

PLAYING WITH THE ANIMALS

The bisons are so big and smelly

We're feeding a deer

That's the deer we just fed

I was a little intimidated by the brown bear

This elk kept coming back for more food

This is at an animal farm about 60 miles from Bainbridge Island. You drive your car around and you're able to feed and touch these animals. It was very intimidating at first because these animals are practically in your car. I was able to feed, yaks, bears, elks, deer and bisons. The bisons were my least favorite because they were enormous and smelled pretty bad.
