Fall in the Northwest

I always loved fall in the northwest. Beautiful leaves, cooler weather, boots and sweaters. My dad always loved it too. He passed away early in the morning on September 30, 2010 which turned out to be just a perfect fall day, one he would have loved to see.

When I rushed to Seattle on a moments notice late last month I never would have imagine I would end up spending 2 1/2 weeks there. Among the difficult times during the trip there were good ones too. I thought I would post a few pictures of the fun times.

We met up with Amy and her 2 kids to go to the Pumpkin Patch one day. Cole was in heaven! Grace is 9 years old and her and Cole hit it off instantly. They had so much fun on a big slide that they had at the patch.

I think the look on his face explains it all...heaven!

Just a couple BFF's trying to look happy during a sad time in life.

Speaking of BFF's, did I mention these 2 were?

Anyone else have a 3 year old that they can't get to smile "normal?"

Sis was excited to wear her boots, too!
