Pumpkin Patch Day with Cousins

So some of my nephews and one of my nieces came up for a few days to spend time with us. So I took them to the pumpkin patch to use up some time and let them pick some pumpkins for me to cook as well as their own small pumpkin to paint. I added some extra pictures in here that I took so their mommies can see what we did while they were here.

He thought it was time to sit in the cart and rest for a moment.

The next several are pictures for the mommies to enjoy!

I loved this one it looks like he is telling her a secret.

they were so funny they insisted on pulling the cart.

At the patch they have a hay maze and this is the stairs/bridge that marks the opening to the maze.

Painting the pumpkins

Even my little guy got to join in on the fun.

So proud of the mess he's made of himself.

Showing off their pumpkins the next day.

So my husband is always able to get my son to look at the camera, smile and say cheese. I have the worst luck at getting my son to do this.

Trip to the Firestation

So My daughter and her Preschool went to the fire station for a field trip. It was one of the best fire station tours I have ever been to. The Fireman who was in charge was so cute with the kids. He led them all over the station and let them dress in fireman gear. He showed them the fire pole. He let them sit in the truck and even convinced another one of his colleagues to crawl on the floor all geared up and sing, "Mary had a Little Lamb" as he encouraged the kids to see that the fireman really isn't scary. Enjoy the pictures!

Feeling Big

Don't you just love when they have to wear your clothes even though it is just 10 sizes too big. Well I do and think she was cute so now I share with you. :0)

Second day in Yellowstone and everything else on the way there and Home

So here is the last post from our trip. We decided to find a Gourmet Chocolate Shop on our way out of Jackson Hole. The owner was born in Mexico and grew up in Italy. He had all sorts of European treats from macarons, chocolates, gelato, and Mexican Hot Chocolate. Very diversified. So should you go to Jackson Hole check it out but be prepared for the cost it is a gourmet place after all. Then we headed to Old Faithful where we checked out the springs and geysers. Oh yes and another post with lots and lots of pictures. Enjoy!

So this is what we got for 11 dollars. It was all really yummy. I wanted to try these cookies. I had been hearing about them and found a recipe. But I wanted to try them first to see what they were like before I went to all the work of making them.

Enjoying our treats!

We saw these arches in Jackson Hole everywhere. They really like to use antlers in this area for all their decorating needs. So we took a picture and said good bye.

One last look at the Grand Tetons!

This is what we could see looking into the back of our van as we drove to Old Faithful.

We made it.

Our first sight of Old Faithful's Glory

We walked the boardwalk through the park and checked out the geysers. I thought it was interesting how this river was so peaceful looking. With everything around being so hot and full of steam this seemed to not fit. Although I didn't touch the water to see if it was hot or cold.Beehive Geyser
Depression Spring

Heart Spring I really thought this was my favorite.

So this one must have never been on time.

Castle Geyser is the Oldest Geyser

Nevermore!!!!

The Old Faithful Lodge.

Our second view of Old Faithful. She looks like she has attitude but really she has been going through this phase of singing whenever she gets her picture taken.

The steam here is coming from a river. This is more what I expected from the other river we saw. It was an awesome sight to see as we drove by.
