Ember Halloween Costume Party/Playdate

On Sunday, Ember had a Halloween costume party/playdate.
There are also some more pictures of the play date on my friends Madeline & Klaire blogs.


Ember follows in the footsteps of her mother who also was a "fairy princess" many years ago, in a land far, far away.


No one said that little princesses need to be graceful.


Everyone hates it, but even babies have to network at parties.


Ember catches up with her old buddy, Madeline.


The moms interfere once more with another staged picture.


Six babies in a row? Who are they kidding? It won't last.


See.


And at the end of that, chaos ensued, as is proper.

Trip to the Falls

On Saturday we took a day trip to the Columbia river Gorge. We saw a bunch of the waterfalls there and did a little bit of hiking.

Ember and Mom playing with some leaves.


We had to take a break from the driving and let Ember play with the leaves.


Leaves good.

Trip to the Zoo

This weekend we went on a trip to the Oregon Zoo. It was a nice, sunny weekend and Ember enjoyed seeing lots of animals she had never seen before.


She definitely enjoys being on Daddy's shoulders. Luckily no hair on this head to grab onto.


Unfortunately, the only animals she could play with were a bit stony.


She got a kick out of the Elephants


And, though not pictured, she loved the cougars.


And then on Sunday was Ember's pool class. Again not the best pics but she had fun playing.


And, blinding her Mom with splashes is always a good time.
