Trick or treat!

Since Rocco loves his "bones" jammies he was a skeleton for Halloween.







































He liked his bag for candy, the eyes lit up when you squeeze the side.




















Making scary faces!




















Rocco, Ava & Jayce ringing the doorbell. Rocco was really good at saying, "trick or treat!"




















Jayce & Ava were Mickey & Minnie Mouse.














Rocco and Ava got tired of walking and did the rest of their trick or treating in the stroller.














Rocco was exhausted and fell asleep, candy in hand.

Home!

Rocco had a good time on our trip but he wanted to "go home" all the time. He was so happy to be home with all of his toys and Punchy!

Ashland

Tasting Lithia water. Gross.




















Auntie Gena bought him this sweatshirt, he fit right in around town.




















Went to feed their horses and Rocco decided not to share the carrots, he wanted to eat them.















Did a little exploring in the lower pasture and found bear poop. Very exciting for the boy who's favorite book is Everyone Poops.




















Toured Uncle Ken's lab.




















Budge and Rocky were excited to try out the gun firing tank.







































Uncle Ken showed Rocco the interesting but sad items in morphology.




















Budgie with a Narwhal horn.




















Since it was almost Halloween there was an activity going on for kids. Rocco built a bat house! Fun!

Portland

We stopped in Portland for the night. We really liked the few parts of Portland we were able to see. We got Voodoo Doughnuts on the way out. They had such interesting flavors. We tried a tang doughnut, captain crunch, and an oreo.

Olympic Park - Day 3

Huge seaweed along the beach.




















Enormous driftwood lined the shore where the cliffs meet the beach. We had to climb over it all to get to the water. He found this "stick" to take to Daddy.

Olympic Park - Day 2

Rocco wanted to touch the deer. Of course his loud voice drove them away but we followed them for a long time.




















Dad made it through some steep, muddy trails!




















At the Hoh Rainforest.







































Hiking to Marymere Falls.





















He was scared to walk through the tunnel.













































































Hiked as far as we could go. Saw the bottom of the waterfall. The log bridge stopped Dad from going further.







































He found a bigger stick!














Lake Crescent

Olympic Park - Day 1

On the ferry from Seattle to Olympic Park.














Someone was excited to go on a big boat!




















We went for a little hike. Daddy helped look for bugs. We found a bunch of beetles, very exciting!




















Looking for animals.




















He found a good stick for poking plants, mushrooms, berries, and digging for bugs.




















Huge leaves everywhere.














Watching cartoons and talking on the phone (unplugged). He's so happy being in the room just hanging out.

Seattle - Day 2

Went on a little cruise and saw sea planes, different kinds of boats, neat bridges, and saw how the captain drives the boat.



























































Troll under the bridge. Rocco wanted to touch "the monster" until we got out of the car. "It's too scary!"





















































Eating dinner with our hands and a mallet, perfect for the little guy!














Rocco and Auntie M had a "monster fight" with crab legs!
