Our family trip to the Pumpkin Patch


Our 3 little pumpkins




We took the kids to Joann's pumpkin patch on Sunday. It was really cold and windy so they were bundled up pretty good. They had such a blast running around in the open field and touching the pumpkins and checking out all the cool stuff they have for kids. Massimo loved climbing the tree though he didn't get to do that much since it was busy and we were trying to juggle the other 2 so we couldn't really spot him. Dante loved the animals (as usual)...he went nuts and was screaming and laughing the entire time. He was not afraid to touch them! Abrianna just loved to walk around and go wherever her heart desired! It was a fun time though tiring chasing after all 3 but it was so cute to see them have so much fun (and get SO dirty!).

Dante starts walking!






There's our little guy Dante...finally walking. This came so out of the blue for us! He hadn't really been taking many steps on his own for just maybe the last day or so and all of a sudden he just started walking and he did it again and again. Although after that he's been choosing to crawl more often but I catch him now and again walking on his own and he is starting to try and get up on his own. I had really hoped he'd be walking for Halloween...I can't have a crawler on Halloween! Although I am sure we'll be sticking the twins in the wagon...we can't chase after all 3!

Our Trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay

Fun at the SF Aquarium by the Bay

We took a trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay today to satisfy Massimo's constant wish to "see the ocean and fishies". At the end of the day we asked Massimo if he had fun (yes, of course he says) and his most favorite thing was the...scuba diver! Yes, that's all he talked about when we asked him what he saw. Of course when we jogged his memory and talked about the fish and what we did he enjoyed "finding Nemo" (one of his favorite movies - and where the fascination of scuba divers all started...don't be surprised if that's what he ends up being for Halloween!) and touching the Stingray and sharks...and outside of the aquarium he got to see trains (Bart), trolleys, buses, and of course the ocean! It was all very exciting for him to be in a big city like that with so much variety around him...so many things to see. The twins loved it, too. Abrianna got to interact a lot more since she is walking and more able, it was a little hard to let Dante crawl so he got to snack and check it all out from stroller view. He did get out at the end in the toddler area and got to touch the sea urchins and he loved that so much! He got really excited watching all the fish swim by. It was a fun day (and tiring chasing after at least 2 and sometimes 3).
