Pumpkin Potch (as Charlie calls it :)
Team Kube and Team Rustand hit the pumpkin patch one Sunday for an afternoon of all things fall. We had cool weather and a great time. Corn box, hayride, slide, corn maze, pumpkins and gourds galore, tractors, and a hundred different pretty picture-taking spots. Just another day at Diana's Pumpkin Patch!
 |
| Corn box = SO MUCH FUN. |
 |
| Uh-oh... busted! Don't eat the corn, Alanna! |
 |
| Looks like the scarecrow is trying to get in on our picture! |

 |
| A fun (and static-filled) activity! |
 |
| "Sir, would you take a picture for us?" Apparently I should have asked for his professional photography resume before asking him to take the picture. :( Kurtis is holding Caleb and Karen is holding Abigail. |
 |
| Let's go get our pumpkins! |
 |
| They had unshelled peanuts in the front part of this tractor, so we hung out here for a bit and munched. |
 |
| Little girl, big pumpkin. |
 |
| What fun! |
 |
| One last family shot before we headed back home. Kubes came over for soup and chili afterwards to complete our fall day. |
Matt and Julie's Anniversary Trip
Seattle, WA
October 10-15, 2012
Grandma came out to watch Charlie and Alanna so Matt and I could take a vacation by ourselves. It was a wonderful time of doing whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted to do it. Coffee at 10:30 at night? Sure! Movie at 9:45pm? Yep! Walking around the city, eating seafood, hiking in Olympic National Park, taking a few ferries, drinking LOTS of coffee... you get it. We had a blast, just the two of us, and I know the kids had a ball with Grandma, too. Win-win! (Or, win-win-win!)
 |
| We stopped in Silverdale (on our way to the national park) for coffee and found this great little spot to check out the water. |
 |
| We had $65 in Starbucks gift cards to use, but we did take the time to try out a few local places, too. This beautiful cup came from Espresso Vivace. |

 |
| On a ferry to Bainbridge Island. Why? Because we can, that's why. :) |
 |

 |
| The Crab Pot - a super fresh and delicioius seafood feast for two. Silverware optional. |
 |
| :) |
 |
| Behind us is the boat that took us on a fun two-hour lunch cruise. |
 |
| Fancy, right? We had such a great time on this cruise. Definitely something we wouldn't normally take the time to do, but are so glad we did it! |
 |
| Space Needle. Duh. |
 |
| Starbucks in Anacortes. We drove north one day just to explore. |
 |
| Seattle Public Library |
 |
| Some sunshine on our last day in Seattle! It really makes everything brighter and more vibrant. |
 |
| One more cup at the original Starbucks. |
 |
| Puget Sound |
 |
| GUM WALL!! See mine?! :) |
 |
| I wanted to get a fancy cupcake before we left the city and found a pumpkin spice cupcake with cardamom frosting. It was beyond yummy. |
What a fun, fun trip. Thanks again, Grandma for coming to stay with Charlie and Alanna!
