We loaded up the buggy for a day trip

 To a magical town of Crown King

We enjoyed beautiful weather and wonderful weather on the 26 mile up

 I use the term town loosely. There was a saloon and general store both of which were surrounded by spectacular pine and other trees

Oh, there is a firehouse too with very inviting firemen

 They were recruiting new staff

 Full town shot

 This little monkey grip is something I never forget. He wraps both arms around my arm to hold on tight - as if we are swinging from tree to tree\

Weddings have been a theme with Tatum lately so when she found my veil, you can imagine her delight. Even wrinkled, it looks beautiful on her. 

 Looks like someone has been eating sand again

Hang on tight

 Just tall enough to look at the zoo exhibits 

 Token monkey over the shoulder shot

What a big boy. He is peppering in words like  Mommy, Daddy, More (muh) , Hi, Bye, Uh-oh, and beloved BB (blankie)

 Ride 'em cowboy

 They will always have a dance partner 

 Watching tv with a helmet is very appropriate for our clumsy little girl

 Choo choo

 Tate said this carriage was taking her to her wedding...the groom was Graham

 Naked poolside yoga - you can get away with it when your 18 months

 Binoculars to see the giraffes 

Face painting at Sam's birthday party

 All set to ride

 This sight never gets old

 Notice they are drawing mommy with a helmet on

 not the beach, but a good view at that

 Hiking to the peak

 Exhausted after hiking to the peak

 The girls

 I spy two pumpkins in the maze

Happy October
