Yay for Fall!

What's nice is that I get a week off in October and I can spend time with my Lexiebug.  The week went by very fast and most of it was going to appointments that can't be done because I'm working.  We were able to squeeze in some fun time.  One of them was going to the zoo.  We always have to go to the zoo at least once when I'm on vacation.

Lexie got to see a leopard.

There were three animals that Lexie wanted to see.  We thought the day was going to be a bust because the monkeys and elephants weren't in their exhibits, but luckily the giraffes were out.  So she got to see one of her 3 favorites!

We visited the Discovery Center and Lexie was so excited that Taryn was going to meet us there.

It was very hard to get Lexie away from this huge water table.  This was the rain forest room and it showed how fishes and animals swim down a river.  She would have been happy to spend the day here.

Then her best buddy Nolan joined us.  Lexie was in heaven!  She has a little crush on Nolan and who wouldn't, he's smart, sensitive and very cute!

Lexie learned how to keep her teeth clean.

She might be opening up her own restaurant when she gets older.

I think they were sliding out of the stomach.

Riding The Bus!

Lexie loves to be the center of attention.  There's a stage with working lights and children can control the sounds effects.  Lexie dressed as a ladybug and performed for us.

Our sweet Taiwan Ohana!

At 3 1/2, Lexie already knows that this machine will give out money.  We need to hide those bank cards!

This is one of Lexie's favorite toys.  She always needs to play with it.  It's a huge lighted table with magnet shapes.

The last time, daddy had to hold Lexie up on this pole.  This time, she climbed up by herself and was able to hang on.

Lexie was planting pineapples.

Lexie said she wanted to go to Disneyland.

Our favorite place to play because this room celebrates Lexie and her friends' cultural heritage.  They were pretending it was the moon festival and ate moon cakes, noodles and dim sum.

We don't have much in the way of fall weather, so no apple picking for us.  Lexie had to be happy with a wooden tree and velcro apples to pick.

Aren't they the cutest little pumpkins!

Lexie loves binoculars.  She makes pretend ones at home with paper towel rolls.  

Mommy, look I found a slide!

Did you know girls can drive a forklift?

The bigger the bubble, the better!!

Lexie was thrilled to be able to spend the day with her two favorite people!

And Lexie also loves her furry brother Maxx.  Lexie loves him so much and even though she says he has stinky breath, she gives him lots of hugs.  Maxx is getting old and is a little deaf, but he is so gentle with Lexie.  He kisses her and will look for her when she's hiding.
