Decorating the Christmas tree!

He wanted to eat the ornaments, so we said he should kiss them instead.

Everyone in the Trampoline!

Rocco has so much fun with the Dekens! We really enjoy having them over to play.

Mechanic

Just like Daddy, busy working on his car!

Seal

Rocco kept popping up out of different holes like a seal! We had a good time a Sea World with Danielle!

Orange soda

Auntie Budgie babysat for a little bit. Rocco had a good time and this is what he looked like when I got home! Sitting there as happy as can be drinking orange soda with a huge orange mustache.

Zoo

We went to the zoo in search of hippo poop. We were successful and even took a picture of it, I won't share that one. Such a boy!

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!
