nana and poppa plumps!

they are here! yeah! nate was excited to show them his art work. that he made. all by himself
bright and early, before the rain hit, we went to the park. typical swiss style, we consulted the map
then we set off
over the bridge
though the forest
over a log
reflecting on the bridge
men folk taking down a tree...doing manly things
deliberating on the next tree to take on
strutting towards it
nate held his own weight
perty fallness
more beauty
continuing through the woods
taking on another tree
more magnificent scenery
a snake
the rain hit so we left for shelter....at tim's for lunch
this afternoon nana and poppa plumps surprised nate with this adorable book on pumpkins and a huge real pumpkin!
after the story was read
poppa (great knife handling btw) took to carving this thing out for nate
taking the guts out
marking the face. it's a happy, smiley face
tada! smiley pumpkin as nate now calls it!
what a GREAT idea! i am so pleased that nate's very first ever pumpkin carving experience was with his nana and poppa plumps. how awesome is that?
it's great to have such amazing in-laws!
it was a fun, filled, chatty day!

just a walk in the park

after the wilson clan left this am, we decided to spend the morning out side in the glorious, fall weather...we left for a park that i normally visit but take the "red" trails (easy-peasy walking) today we decided to take the "yellow" trail (off the beaten path, through the woods/trees/water) we had.a.blast. so. much. funness!

nate lead the way!
just a typical water shot
nate found this hole in the bridge, he spent 10 mins filling it with fallen leaves and what not's. chris and i spent the time chatting and enjoying the weather...
then nate came over, grabbed my hand and insisted on me helping him "stir the stuff" with a stick...
so i did
in the middle of the woods we found a bench. after watering the trees we stopped for a snack (i though ahead and packed a lunch) and ate in the grand out doors
then nate asked chris to take a picture of us two. awww. seriously! he asked! i love my boy!
then it was daddy's turn
and nate lead the way over the streams
me
reading another map
what ever (so bored!)
checking the colorage of the leaves
chris showing nate something
we had SO much fun. seriously. i adore this stage! he can walk for 3 hours, keep up, have fun, stay un cranky and enjoy being with us...and carry his own bag. haha. i love having a boy child! i can not wait for our next wood excursion!
