The Pumpkin Patch! Cow Train!

Punkins

I was dressed in pumpkin colors. Here is my pumpkin impression:

Emily with the pony named Hercules

I forget this duck's name, but he had a mean bouffant

Caramel apples

Punkins

Hayride

II: Emily was embarrassed about her hat head

Orchards? Vineyards?

Leaves

Mudpatch

Green and orange!

Cabbages

I came home and realized I was dressed like McMurphy all day

DEAD MAN'S BONES' amazing set

Emily was ready for 3D

There was a talent show that involved this man and his naked skeleton puppet

Ghost children!! And Ryan Gosling

They had flashlights!

This girl did a mean Nancy Sinatra cover. Then my camera died before I could take any real swoony pics of Ryan Gosling.

This was maybe the greatest concert I've ever been to. If you get a chance to go, it's definitely worth braving the crazy Ryan Gosling fans who will act like morons all around you. Totally endearing/heartening concept and fun production.

The Grotto: do not point at the flowers. They are sensitive.

The meditation room has a great view of IKEA.

PERTURBED. Other verbs considered for this relief include: miffed, cheesed-off and skeptical as all hell.

Pink

Mom's feeling pretty proud of this leaf discovery

October 23rd, Friday

We went to OMSI and learned some things about dinosaurs.

Mom and I in infrared.

Mom and Dad. Mom's nose is esp. cold.

Mom wanted her picture taken next to the dinosaur hips sign.

I saw one of these guys. AND. The former-texan former-neighbor. But didn't get to talk to him before he ran off to work.

Sir Bubblesworth III passed on to the big fish bowl in the sky a few weeks back, so Michelle and I made a desert terrarium out of his bowl as our memorial

Mom got him a shark tooth and some amethyst from the museum to add flair.

Mom was really into the foliage here

Taking pictures of leaves

Taking pictures of picture takers

My parents showed up and my mom and I started working on a jumper. It consumed a couple days of fabric store adventures.

Guitar hangers

And ukulele!

Much better.

We tried to get Sunny's out of control nails cut, but the dogwash was closed :/

You guys! It's almost like I'm a real person!

I made delicious stew

Complete with quinoa. Yum.

And now I'm completely exhausted.
