Fall fun

Karen had a mountain bike thing last weekend in Bellingham, so Reed, Barley and I went along for the ride and decided to make a weekend out of it.  I love Bellingham, and I love Fall, and I love pumpkins, and I really like  to swim.  The following pics will explain why I had such a great time, and I think Reed did too.

Bellingham has a great Farmers Market on Saturdays.  I think we caught one of the last markets of the season.  The stands at this market are just super cute.  Maybe it is because their overall selling volume is lower, but the farmers (and vendors for that matter) do such a great job making their stands look really cute and inviting.  Sorry,  did not snap any pics to show you, but we did buy this new hat for Reed from an artiste with a very cute table.  Naturally, we had to take some pics of Reed in his new chapeau.

The hotel pool happened to be just the perfect temp.  So in went Reed and his moms.  Oh boy.  This was his third time in the water (read: the third time his moms placed him in the water hoping to make an instant swimmer of him), and this time, he LOVED it!  Finally, we have found a way to harness the energy of Reed's constant arm/leg flapping.   With just a tiny bit more stroke instruction, I think he will be ready to join the local rec swim team.  

This is baby watsu.

On our way home, we stopped at a pumpkin patch for the obligatory pumpkin patch pics.   We skipped the corn maze, the caramel apples, and the bobbing for apples this time.   I am sure we will catch those next year!

Barley likes to pose with the pumpkins too.  I love her.

Love this little sucker!

A few more pics of our boy from this weekend.  Love him!
