Des Moines Trip

Cousins Brianna, Alaina, and Alysa

Nate and I took Alaina to Des Moines for Columbus Day weekend. It was the perfect weekend to visit Grandma and Grandpa Bruck. There was no school today and Nate and I both took off work on Friday. That gave us four days to spend with family in Iowa. The last time Nate's family saw Alaina she was still crawling. They loved seeing her as a walking, talking toddler! While in Iowa we took Alaina to a pumpkin patch and the apple orchard. She absolutely loved both places! We also hung out with Nate's sister, Sarah, and Alaina's cousins, Brianna and Alysa. Such a fun weekend!

Alaina loved looking at the gourds at the Apple Orchard

She also befriended a stray cat

We took about 10 pictures like this trying to get Alaina to look at the camera.

Alaina enjoyed sitting with the pumpkins.

Looking for the best pumpkin!

If you can't read her shirt it says "I'm Batty for Daddy"

Alaina loved the farm animals! She was not afraid of them at all. She wanted to pet all the animals and even made some animal noises.
