See You Next Year!
Jake's Aunt Melissa left for home in Alaska tonight. We were sorry to see her go, it was so much fun. But she was really excited to go home to the foot of snow that had fallen while she was gone. She and Jake had so much fun together the week she was here.

Japenese Gardens
Today we decided to go visit the Japenese Gardens. I have gone twice before, but none of the others had been there. It is such a beautiful place. I had so much fun with my camera, I took a million 100 pictures and I tried not to choose too many to put here!

The koi fish were a big hit.



There was a fall bonsai collection on display. These were my two favorite ones.




Diana joined us as well -- Melissa and Diana grew up together in Anchorage.

Halloween Fun
Jake and I carved this pumpkin together in the afternoon. We covered all the basics - eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.
Then Jake got dressed in his costume. Isn't he a cute train engineer?
He was so excited about going down to the Village to trick or treat at the shops! Here he's running down the street, Daddy by his side.
Going into the Village with Aunt Melissa and Uncle Mike!! They are staying a night on their way to a family reunion.

The Village was amazingly crowded!! There were lines to get candy by every shop.
Everyone went down one side of the street and up the other.

Jake bumped into his buddy, Skylar! She makes for a very cute flapper girl!
Jake is very serious when being photographed.
Yup, I'm wearing a pumpkin shirt.
We spotted this hot dog.
Hey, I'm married to a train engineer! (Yup, we ate Thai food on Halloween.)
Yay for having them visit for Halloween fun!
Heading back home... He'd had 1 green lollipop and ran around for a good 20-30 minutes. Sugar crash starting in 3-2-1...
We got home and got to work carving the other 2 pumpkins.


We handed out fair-trade dark chocolates and organic lollipops. I hope we have some leftover!
Happy Halloween!
