Relaxing after a hard afternoon of trick or treating...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

On Friday Katelyn had a Halloween Party and Parade at her daycare. All the kids were so adorable in their costumes and Katelyn had so much fun! They had apple cider, donuts and some other goodies for snack and then all the kids had a parade outside (luckily the rain held off).

Fall leaves

What is more fun than a big pile of leaves.....???

Jack-o-lanterns

We carved out our pumpkins this weekend...
Katelyn told us what shapes she wanted for her jack-o-lantern face and we carved her little pumpkin out. She loved getting all the seeds and goop out of the pumpkin (but wanted her hands cleaned everytime they got dirty)

Apple, Pumpkin and Banana Picking?

2 years and 10 months old

We took Katelyn apple and pumpkin picking last weekend. We went on a hayride out to the apple orchard to pick apples and she also tried an Apple Fritter (delicious by the way) and then we went to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins.

When I told Katelyn the night before that we were going to pick pumpkins and apples the next day she asked "can we go banana picking too?" (Bananas are her favorite, second only to oatmeal)





Daddy a little higher please, I want that apple!

Katelyn was having so much fun picking the apples that we had to stop her at some point because she would have picked 50 apples if we had let her...and there is only so much you can do with apples ;)

"Mommy, Can I have a bite of the apple?"

"We have to wash it first, you can have your apple at home."

(Well, I think I will have one bite anyway, just to make sure this one is good)

I think I should taste this apple also....just to make sure it's sweet :)

Lets get the apple way up at the top...

Already 3 feet tall

Katelyn wasn't thrilled about playing in the corn...

(Mommy take the picture already so I can get out of this corn)

On the hunt for the PERFECT pumpkin

Hmmmm, which one should I choose...???

"This one is perfect, 'cause it's yellow!" (in case you were wondering her favorite color is yellow and then green is a close second)

This looks like a great place to take a rest after a long day of apple and pumpkin picking!

Checking out the sunflowers...wow, these flowers are taller than me!!!

Chimney Bluffs

We went to see Chimney Bluffs on Lake Ontario. They were formed when a continental glacier melted 12,000 years ago and is one of the largest in the world. It was really spectacular to see and it was so beautiful there.

Running off some excess energy

Having some lunch before we start our hike to the bluffs!

Katelyn loved hiking in the woods (picking flowers, finding sticks and rocks, she loves nature so this was right up her alley)

More walking on the trail...

We took a trail down to the water and explored the shore of lake Ontario

This picture and the 2 video clips below were taken at the bottom of the bluffs, it was amazing to see the cliffs towering above us.

Katelyn was watching Todd skip stones in the water so these were her attempts at doing the same..... so cute :)

After we left Chimney Bluffs we took a short drive to Sodus Bay to check out the lighthouse and walk around the area...it was a beautiful day!!

Backpack

Katelyn needed a backpack for her 1st day of daycare. (She loved her backpack and was so excited to wear it)
