We had a fun week of pumpkins, pirates, pups, ponies, parties, puddles, and playing! Jason even let his inner psycho come out as we were gutting the gourds.
Andie got a hand-me-down costume from Nate for Halloween, which she's tried on a couple of times this week.
The first of many puddles Andie encountered over the past week was a particularly big puddle called the Russian River. She had fun splashing and playing alongside Hawkeye.
Andie also played some fetch with Hawkeye at home.
The whole family was excited for Andie's new pirate ship tent to show up in Monday's mail! Setting it up was a good demonstration of one of many times the "-ilino" part of Team Herilino really takes over ... Jason and Nana kept their distance.
Andie loves the tent, and she is very inviting about sharing her tent space with anyone except for big brother Hawkeye.
Thanks to Sophie, on Thursday Andie got to meet some horses up close for the first time! She was impressed with how big they were, especially their eyes and ears.
Kristin, Andie, and Hawkeye spent some solo time this weekend while Jason, Papa, Grandpa, and others went fishing at Lake Almanor. The weather wasn't great, but they still managed to catch a few fish.
On Friday, Kristin and Andie went to a party with some friends. Kristin mildly tortured Andie during the group photo.
On Saturday, Andie, Kristin and Nana finally made it over to the Sonoma County Children's Museum. Andie was really excited about the choo choo trains there!
She also really liked playing with the calculator on this activity board.
She had a tea party with some teddy bears.
She even went to the dentist's office. It actually marked her second trip to the dentist's office last week, as her first trip to the real dentist was on Tuesday. She did great!
Kristin appreciated the wall of animal teeth.
Andie liked playing in the dragonfly helicopter outside. She even made sure she was safely buckled up while she was in the driver's seat...
She liked all the buttons inside, but clearly thought they should be doing more beeping.
Her second round of puddle jumping for the week was definitely the wettest! She loved splashing in the water with the other kids!
Kristin and Andie visited Aunt Ellie and Uncle James at the Farmhouse today. To prepare, Kristin had Andie practice saying Ellie and James's names last night.
There was more puddle jumping fun at the Farmhouse.
For the rest of us, it was a fabulous way to end the weekend!
From the photos, it would seem that Andie's favorite part of pumpking carving was giving us instructions ...
... but really, she liked stirring the seeds the best.
We think they turned out pretty good!

Jason gave her a surf lesson for their next beach trip.

Andie also had fun driving the big tractor.

... sticking her head out the window was probably slightly less safe.

She enjoyed driving the John Deere.
We'll definitely have to make it back to the museum soon.

There was some swinging (Kristin only allowed Andie to faceplant off the swing once, and Andie recovered quickly and immediately asked to get back on like the champ she is!)...
... and some sliding.
We also walked over the beach.
When Andie and Kristin were about to leave, a spectacular double rainbow appeared in the sky!

For most people, rainbows and puppy dogs would both rank among the happiest things in life. Apparently Andie's list is unconventional.
For the rest of us, it was a fabulous way to end the weekend!
