I just got back from my Thanksgiving trip to SoCal, and I wanted to share my trip to Legoland!

Even before we got into the park, we could tell we were in the right place.  As Mommy would say, “Daddy and I were in the target market”.

First up was a ride on my first roller coaster: the Coastersaurous!

I wasn’t scared at all.  It was really fun!  You go up a hill, and then down and around two circles… then you get to do it again!

We also went on the Sky Patrol helicopters.  I got to show Daddy how to make it go up and down and turn around!

Later, it was the Flight Squadron airplanes.  Daddy did a great job of going on the rides with me so we could have fun together.

We had lunch, and I got a special treat: Chocolate covered marshmallows with M&Ms stuck on. Yum.

I had a great time with Grandma Harris, Mommy, and Daddy.  I can’t wait to go back next time!

ZZZzzzz….

Lately, Atlas has been sleeping a lot, which makes it really easy to pet him – and take pictures!

He’s the best kitty ever!

A while ago I took my money I’d saved up and I bought my first Lego set.

It was hard choosing a set that Daddy said I had enough money for, but when Daddy said he’d lend me an extra $2, the deal was sealed!

On the Saturday before Halloween, my buddy Jehan and I went to Howarth Park for the trick or treat party.  We got to warm up our “trick-or-treat” voices – and get some candy!

I dressed as a construction worker, and Jehan was Spiderman.

And before Halloween can really get started, you have to carve your pumpkins, right?  Here I am showing Daddy how to get the guts out!

Before the big night we turned off all the lights to see if our Jack-o-Lantern was spooky enough.  Looks good!

When the big night came, I decided to go as a pizza.  This costume leaves the arms free for good access to the candy.

It was raining, so M&D wanted me to wear my rain coat.  I got lots of candy and M&D let me eat four pieces because I’m Four!

Now that Fall is here, it’s time to go pick pumpkins!  Our first pumpkin patch trip was to the Tolay Festival.

They had a hay ride that took out out to the pumpkin patch.  I got to sit right in front where we could see the tractor really well.

At the pumpkin patch, I worked on finding the perfect pumpkin.   There sure were a lot of non-perfect pumpkins to weed through!  But I finally found it

Later we stopped to see some 2 day old baby chicks.  I got to hold one!  He was very light and fuzzy.

They had lots of other interesting things to look at.  There were snakes and scorpions and even a great horned owl!

Here there were some 100 year old steam engines that people used to use on farms.  One is hooked to a washing machine (Ed. Note: brown, in background), and the other is hooked to a water pump!  What crazy contraptions!

I’m looking forward to the best part of Fall: Halloween!

My new recycling truck and forklift have now joined all my other Lego trucks.

Daddy says I have so many Lego trucks, but I just want to get the ones I don’t have so that I’ll have them all.  What’s wrong with that?

Cousin Bryan got married and Avery and I got to come to the wedding.  Doesn’t Avery look pretty?

There was a kids room where we got to play, and I got a tiger cat face painting!

Grrrrrrr!!!

On the way home, I  tried to be helpful by carrying the luggage.  I’m strong enough to pull it now.

The Penguins took a field trip to Twin Hill Ranch.  Farmer Jeff gave us a tour.

He showed us how they clean and sort the apples, and later we got to try our hand at picking some!

We also got to have a snack.   They had yummy apple bread.

I hope we can go back sometime!

The farmer’s market has very yummy Ben-yays that I get to have sometimes.

Mmmmm…
