The Coast

We headed over to Crescent City for the day and enjoyed the Redwood National Park. While driving down the coast line we made a few stops to take in the beach and do a small walk. The weather was dry yet really foggy, very typical of coastal weather. The sun did eventually make her appearance... however, the fog gave the coast a bit of magical peace.

Train Fun

While on the road during a family vacation to the Redwood National Park and Disneyland we stopped at a great little park in Roseburg, Oregon. This park had the most amazing natural play structure and exploration area I have ever seen... not sure why I did not take any photos of it. I think it is because I was busy playing with Holly.

The park also had a great train for kids of all ages to explore. This train could be climbed upon from top to bottom, front to back - knobs pulled, levers moved and more. Best part... it was a real train! We spent a lot of time playing on the train, all of us. It was hard to get back on the road and leave this park!

Swinging in the Sun

Yesterday Holly enjoyed a home school science class at a local nature park. While she was in class Hudson & I had a good time at a nearby tot park. The sunshine was out, the temperature was warm and the swings were all ours! Hudson loves the swing... loves it!

Remlinger Farms

Friday we drove up to Remlinger Farms in Carnation to meet up with friends for a wonderful day of fall fun! We have visited this park one other time and loved it, so we could not pass up another fun day!

Remlinger Farms is a wonderful place that is full of several fall activities - hay jump, hay maze, children's carnival rides, a steam train, entertainment, farm animals, pumpkin patch and more! There is so much to do... we spent the whole day there, a very fun day!

Visitors In The Yard

Today we enjoyed yet another family of deer in our yard, we have a couple of different ones... feasting on the many apples from our broken apple tree. It was a wonderful treat to watch them for some time. There was a buck, doe and a baby deer. They were beautiful and Holly really enjoyed their visit!

Something New...

Hudson has a new skill he has mastered in the past few days...

He is a master clapper now. He will cheer while he is doing it too -- so stinkin' cute!!

Lattin's Cider Mill

Yesterday we enjoyed a fun morning out with friends at Lattin's Cider Mill down by Olympia. This is a great little farm with several farm animals, little stuff for kids to do and of course simply enjoying that amazing fall farm feeling... is so worth it! During the fall season we tend to hit up a few different local farms and this was to kick off that time of year.

Holly really enjoyed all of the animals. There were birds of all kinds to feed as well as goats, sheep and a pig. She went through two bags of feed having a great time. Even Hudson had fun checking out the animals. The farmer who toured with us brought a baby chick right up to Hudson... I missed a photo, however he enjoyed it. It was a really nice time at the farm!
