Pumpkins at the Arboretum!

This year we went early to get our pictures in the pumpkins at the arboretum the first weekend that they opened. Ari is out of town two weekends in October, and I am out of town another one, so I need to get to the pumpkins early.

It was a little hot, but the boys took some amazing pictures. 


Eh... 

I love this one.

I told him his first smile looked fake, so I got this one instead...

I love this crazy boy. 

And he loves Isaac...

Really, really, really loves him...

Somebody messed up my corn house picture...


I call this one a "Portrait of Timeout."  The maze was too exciting for this kid to listen to directions... 

Z wanted to pose happily next to Tahl in timeout. 

If you look closely you can see Isaac getting a raspberry on his belly in the background.

Isaac and his favorite Daddy

 I finally got a good one of Isaac! 

Zev counted 117 giant pumpkins during our visit.

Isaac loved them too.

He wouldn't stop hugging them. 


 Everybody had to get in on it. 


Funny guy.

Then we went to the Children's Garden to play. 

We can't ever go without stopping in to see Tahl's imaginary dragon, Guy-he's, family.

Zev made some excellent music.


It was so hot, we might have done the tornado machine a few times.

Personalities are really showing here. 

Even Ari and I got a picture in there, but they aren't as fun with a hat.


 We ended up going to cool off in the water. 

 Zev is always the wettest guy we have. I love Isaac kicking in the back.

 Isaac giggled the entire time he was splashing and spraying the water.




 We found a grasshopper when we got out, and we even got to see him hop all around.

We had a fun day, and I'm glad we thought to get our annual pumpkin pictures in before we go to L.A. and Hawaii in October!

Fun at home

Isaac is obsessed with trying to drive my car.  Anytime I unbuckle him, he makes a beeline for the front seat. 

On Friday afternoons when there isn't any homework, we like to go swimming after school.  Here is my sweet Isaac riding a turtle float. 

We had a lot of fun with the iphone and jumping in the pool. 




You can see that Tahl's amazing faces don't just happen on rides. 











We went to the zoo on Saturday.  Here is Isaac riding his favorite animal, the gorilla AGAIN. 

Even Daddy had a ride. 

This isn't exactly at home, but it is as picture from Isaac's teachers showing him digging in the sandbox, his favorite part of school. 

He is still really sure that he will be able to climb this pole if he just keeps trying...
