Pumpkin Patch 2011

We took Annika to the pumpkin patch again this year and it was so much fun!  She is big enough to run around an play and even helped pick out our pumpkin.  It was such a great morning for all of us.  I love doing this and look forward to it every year.  

Running towards the pumpkins!
She had never been in hay before.  She wasn't sure what to think.
The hay was stacked so the kids could climb.
Annika loved this, of course.
She didn't like how it felt on her hand but so she
just started jumping on it.
She had a great time!
She was saying, "Cheese!" 
Love her. 
Thinking about jumping to Dad.
Getting ready to jump.
Jumping!
She did this about 10 times!
Trying to see how tall. 
I took around 15 pictures.
These were as close as we came.
She is about 3 pumpkins tall!
Showing Annika what to do.
Cute little pumpkin!
She LOVED this bridge.
She would run across it over and over!
Trying to get a good picture of her and Derek.  
Climbing.  Big surprise!
Looking at the pig.

Feeding the pigs. 
She was making her pig noise here!
Not quite sure of the pigs after all.
An unsuccessful attempt to get a picture of Annika
looking at the camera.
She almost fell off and we were both laughing.
She thought sitting on the pumpkin was quite fun.
I love her pigtails!
Watching Derek as he was getting our pumpkin.
She wanted the pumpkin for herself!
Trying to hold it all by herself.
She was only holding Derek's hand because this was a hill.
As soon as they go down, she let go!
Again on the bridge!
She stopped to look at the tractor driving by.

Zoo

Every year the Kansas City Zoo has a teacher appreciation day where all teachers get in free. Derek and I decided to take advantage of this and take Annika. We couldn't stay all day so we went straight to Africa and stayed there the whole time. It was a perfect morning and we had a great time.

Random Pictures


Annika was playing and I asked her to say cheese and this is what I got!


She wasn't feeling all that well and was very fussy. So, I tried a movie. She had to have her baby and a blanket. She watched for about 15 minutes before getting up. It was a great 15 minutes!


Just a random cute picture of our little girl!

Park, Again

After the Spinach Festival we walked up to the park and let Annika play for awhile. Annika actually ran because she loves the park! She climbed right up to the slide and slid down, over and over again. It was such a beautiful morning and we had a great time. But, eventually we had to leave. I love how she holds onto Derek's hand. So cute!
