October- Family Visits & Halloween!

October was a very fun month for our little family!! First Cooper's grandma and grandpa (Jeff's parents) came down from Alaska for a visit. We went to visit them and Cooper's great grandpa, great grandma and great-great grandma in Goldendale, WA for a weekend. The neighbors next to great grandparents have goats, chickens, and turkeys. Cooper loved going "ow-ide" with great grandpa to feed the "goas." He got to visit his great-great grandma too. Then grandma and grandpa came down to our place to stay for a weekend. We had a great visit. Cooper got quite good at saying grandma and grandpa. We had fun going to Ikea, shopping, and just hanging out before they headed back up to Goldendale. Jeff, Cooper, and I went to the pumpkin patch one sunny day (one of the few we had in October). We picked out a couple of pumpkins and Cooper had fun running around. For Halloween we went to the zoo for the Howloween event. Later we carved our pumpkin. Cooper wasn't too interested in the goop from the inside. Then Cooper and I went trick or treating with friends in downtown Gresham.

This goat was quite the piggy-- he would shove others out of the way to get the food.

Still not sure about the goop on his hands!

He thought it was fun to step on since he had socks on so no goop got on him.
