Benziger babes

Grandma and Grandpa Benziger came to visit! The best cookie bakers in 98103! I was spoiled last week in that I got to have Grandma and Grandpa Benziger all to myself! Well, most of the time. We had lots of fun taking the bus downtown and exploring the Children's Museum, going to see all the animals at the zoo, playing at the Green Lake playground, and going to the Seattle Aquarium. I was (mostly) well-behaved and kept Grandma and Grandpa very busy. I told them that I am going to miss them very much but that we can't wait to see them in December when we go visit them for Christmas! Thanks a lot for taking care of me and teaching me how to play the memory game!!

Back in May, they each planted pumpkin seeds and got to water them and watch them grow into little plants and then put them in the ground. Harvest day was this past weekend and Theo picked the biggest pumpkin but it was too heavy for him to carry.  The kids had fun running around and the adults had fun getting to know one another. Today, Theo's PEPS group had a ren
