We went to a pumpkin patch and farm but naturally, my camera decided to malfunction, so we didn't get any pictures. But Claire had a great time, picking the biggest pumpkin she could find! Claire and I attempted the corn maze there, and right as we were about half-way through, Claire announces she needs to go potty. Great! She can only hold it for a couple of minutes, so I was dragging her along as fast as her little feet would go, trying to find the exit. So about 10 minutes later, we finally were out, and Claire had to get a change of pants!
Grandma Nelson bought these fun faces to put on the pumpkins (much better than carving!!) and Claire had a lot of fun mixing and matching the faces she could create. She still goes out on our patio and switches the eyes and noses around. They are her personal mr. pumpkin heads. She loves them!
One of Claire and my favorite things about Grandma is that she loves to play games with Claire. Grandma taught Claire how to play a couple of fun games- this one is where you build a castle for your princess.
We took Granda to the zoo and aquarium. I think Diane had a good time looking all the sea life that our aquarium has.
Claire and I liked watching the polar bears do nothing.
We took Grandpa and Grandma up to the Incline where we had a look at the city, read some history of the city, and took a ride on the trolley!
Thanks for such a wonderful visit! We can't wait to see you again.

These are great pictures Brooke! Looks like Claire had a great time with Bill and Diane. They are great grandparents to do all of those fun things with Claire.
The pumpkin patch...oh the joys : )
Love the idea of recipes on your sidebar by the way!
I love the pumpkin faces idea. Do you know where she got those? And I like the recipes too...I have a Marie Callendar corn bread recipe too, but it's not the same as yours. Go figure! :)
I think she got them at KMART- it was so nice not to have to clean out any pumpkins, and carving pumpkins at Claires age is pointless!
looks like a fun week. the pumkin faces are awesome. I will have to remember that. I hate carving pumpkins!! I love the good earth. i noticed you're reading it. such a great story. i forgot that one on my recommended. i'll add it.
I really like those pumpkin faces too. We don't have a Kmart though, so I'm hoping they'll sell them somewhere else. Kaiya would love those.
I'm glad your in-laws could come. I sounds like you'll have a great time.
Oh, that looks like so much fun! And the pumpkin faces are awesome. We were going to carve pumpkins on Monday night for family night, but maybe I'll try to find those faces and it could be a much cleaner event! :) Funny story about Claire and the corn maze. It made me laugh, though I'm sure you two weren't too happy about it. :)
Fun pumpkin faces! I will have to look around for those...what is the point of carving pumpkins with kids under the age of 4? It just ends up being one huge mess (and it is kinda dangerous)! Glad you had a great time with the Nelson's.
yuck! I hate carving pumpkins! What a fun and cute alternative. Looks like you guys kept busy and had lots of fun. Claire is so cute!
Looks like tons of fun, and Claire looks so grown up!
It looks like everyone had a great time. I bet Claire loved spending time with her grandma and grandpa. I like that pumpkin idea.
