Welcome Fall!
We had a pretty amazing start to fall. As I write this post, it is currently pouring outside. I am pretty sure our nice fall days are pretty much over. It was great while it lasted though.
Regen and Colin had an end of Summer camp-out in the back yard. Regen thought it was great sleeping in the tent with Daddy. I am sure glad she likes to do it. :)

Regen packing all of her bedtime necessities

We thought this was going to be our last nice day of the season, so we had a picnic in the backyard
Playing and having lunch with our little friend Abi
Regen showing Abi the catapillar we have been keeping to see what it turns into
Regen and Mini-me making silly faces
and playing the Keyboard
One week ago from today it was 84 degrees out. Hard to believe!! We decided to get out and go to the beach. We headed to Idylwood beach which I haven't been to in a LONG time. It was great and all the other kids were already back in school so we had a lot of room to play!
Playing in the sand
Trying to make a sandcastle.. the sand is a little different than the sand at the beach house!
Eating lunch and getting ready to take a dip
Claire eating her lunch
Mama forgot Claires swimsuit, so she had to 'swim' in her very droopy diaper!

Both kids started school this week. Regen is going 3 days a week, with one extended day. Claire started toddler group and had so much fun exploring all the new stuff.

Doesn't she look so BIG?!?!

The Beach House, the greatest show on Earth AND the Puyallup!
Our September has been really busy so far. We kicked September off with a great time at the beach house for Labor day, then a party for MAJOR Hovey (Congratulations Major), then we were off to see the circus and then the Puyallup fair.. oh yeah, and both kids started school. Here are some pictures and videos of our exciting adventures!
This is a video of the Bald Eagle that sits on the dock at the beach house. The next door neighbor feeds him Turkey legs every day and this day he waited for us to get video and pictures.
This is a video of Regen fishing. She caught 6 flounder and 2 bull head (used for crab bait). She was thrilled to catch so many fish!

The Puyallup Fair
Checking out the petting zoo.. Claire loved the animals
One of Regen's favorite rides of the day!
She didn't stop until it was almost gone
This lady was facinating
Regen liked her a lot
Claire's first ride... she wasn't too happy to get out
How lucky.. the Backyardigans were at the fair! Regen gave Pablo a big hug before she left. Claire was pretty scared of Tyrone's hand.
She loved all the rides
Once we started moving, Claire had a perma-grin
Regen and Daddy taking a train ride

Is summer over already?
Wow, where did the summer go? Regen is back in preschool and Claire started toddler group. It just baffles me how fast the summer goes every year and I am left wanting more... but when I look back at the pictures, I don't think we possible could have. Here is a month by month report of our summer. Happy Fall!
