Night Night

I checked on Hinton last night before I went to bed and this was how he was sleeping. Cute kid.

Halloween Decorations

I had a hankering to put out some of our Halloween decorations this morning. Hinton decided to help by decorating the coffee table in the living room.

These action shots really amuse me.

The finished product.

Cheesy Kid

Yes, this is still how he likes to "smile"
when he knows that I am going to take his picture.

Year Two, Month Ten

First Day of Soccer

Hinton checking out the (indoor) soccer field for the first time.

And running all the way to the other side.

Waiting in line for instructions from the coach.

"Messy monkeys" kicking the cones over.

"Messy monkeys" knocking the cones over with a soccer ball. (video)

"Clean monkeys" had to tip the cones up using only their feet.

Success!

Kicking the soccer ball.

Playing with a parachute.

Cranberry Festival

Ready for the parade!

Hinton got a sticker from a policeman.

He, of course, loved the fire trucks.

And the horses.

Grandma Barb was in the parade!

And, of course, there was candy.

Pizza for lunch!

Kids' Area

"Fishing"

He got a pair of sunglasses and a bunch of whistles.

He was given a balloon dog.

He made a bookmark.

And he played Plinko and won a Shere Khan

(the tiger from The Jungle Book.)

Yard Shots

Sandbox play - burying his feet.

Cheese!

Sprinklers are fun!

Oregon State Fair

Driving a tractor.

Watching "Dock Dogs".

The dogs jump and try to reach the bar in the air.

Hinton enjoyed it!

Hug from Grandpa.

We saw cows, horses, sheep, pigs, llamas, and more!

Hinton liked the smaller, caged animals better than the big ones.

"Hello there, goose. Hello!"

The cutest rabbit we saw.

We weren't sure if Hinton would enjoy the petting zoo.

He loved it!

Hinton posed with a llama.

A wallaby. Adorable.

Gentle, Hinton! (video)

A fun day!
