God's Glory In The Morning - 10/12/10

This morning around 7:00 AM I witnessed the most glorious sunrise. Bill gave me a new camera two years ago, but he liked it so much he kept it to use himself! Well, I now have it and I was playing with the settings to capture these different looking shots. I was standing on my deck for about 20 minutes, just shooting and changing the settings.

I thought they were all worthy of sharing. You can click on any of them to enlarge. I posted them in order with the first one being the earliest one I shot.

Enjoy

This next one I captured the flight of some Canadian geese.

The last two shots I caught a very large Coast Guard vessel coming into port.

"Grandma Julee"

Kristin found this cute kitty costume for Ruby. Little Ru-Cat felt so proud of herself.

Last week before I was even down there, Kristin asked Ruby "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Ruby thought and answered "Grandma Julee!"

Ahhhh...........

Kruger Farm, Sauvie Island

On Saturday Oct 2 we went to the Kruger Farm on Sauvie Island

http://www.krugersfarmmarket.com/

If you look back on my blog to October 2008 and scroll down to the last one for that month you will see where we went to a birthday party for Memphis when the twins were 4 months old. I always wanted to go back because it was such a fun place with wonderful produce. We all had a fabulous time, especially the kiddo's.

Carson LOVES, LOVES, LOVES tractors, so he was in heaven over this giant toy! We all got to take a ride on the trailer to one of the pumpkin patches on the farm and select the perfect pumpkin.

"Hold on tight little boy to that special pumpkin".

He looked for an "iddo" one (that's "little" in Carson-speak)

Such a strong little man who insisted on pulling his lil sis. She loved it.

"GO THIS WAY!"

The farm also has U-Pick flowers. We didn't pick, just patted and sniffed!

Ruby wanted to pat the flowers!

Here she is clapping with delight over sniffing the flower.

Ruby called this a flower tunnel. The sun flowers must have been 10 feet tall and were leaning over to make this walk-through path.

The farm sells organic pizzas and the twins devoured this one.

Having Fun

Ruby discovered that on the bottom of each of the boxes in the new storage unit was a sticker. Yes, she and Carson had to dump out all the toys so they could get every sticker. Here she is putting it on her arm. At one point she had 4 stickers going up her arm! If you click on the photos to enlarge them you will see that both Ru and Carson concentrate with the help of their tongue. In the last one Ruby has her tongue in her cheek. Their new favorite position to watch Little Einsteins!
