Jasper Rides and Cares for His Scooter

While Sara was busy getting lunch ready for Jasper before his nap yesterday, he and I went for a ride along the neighborhood streets. Here's an excerpt.

Blink!

One of Jasper's new tricks...

Halloween

We had a very eventful week and weekend. We had some friends over early in the week to carve pumpkins. They all turned out really neat- sadly, my owl carving only lasted one day due to some hungry neighborhood squirrels.

I got Jasper's costume done in time for a little party our church had for the nursery aged kids. It was the perfect little party. The kids sang a few songs about autumn and Halloween, had a snack, and showed off their costumes. Just long enough to entertain and short enough to keep their attention!





On Friday night, we went to the Pumpkin Prowl at the Woodland Park Zoo. What a fabulous event! We met up with our friends the Parkers and had a great time enjoying the hundreds of carved pumpkins, acrobats, jumpropers, and free samples of food!

Last, but not least, we spent Saturday morning once again at the zoo to watch various animals devour pumpkins. It's called the Pumpkin Bash and the zoo does it every year around Halloween time. We met up with the Parkers again and our friends the Kilburns. Here's a movie.

The Zoo

Well, pretty much our favorite thing to do as a family is go to the zoo. We went yesterday. Here is what we saw:

We did see a lot of animals too. Jasper probably enjoyed the pigs, cows and flamingos the most.
