More Jenna

I need to have more kids so Jenna doesn't get so many posts dedicated to her...

"Yeah, I'm drinking juice. Jealous?"

.
The belt makes the basket easier to pull.

"Let's see if this fits."

"Hello, can I have cheese?"

"Grandma reads stories the best."

"Daddy helping to wash my hands."

The Underground Gardens

In the early 1900s, a guy named Baldassare Forestiere came to the United States from Italy.  He came to Fresno and partly because it was so hot in the summer, he decided to build an underground living area, with the intent of eventually turning it into a hotel. He had his work cut out for him since the soil was actually hardpan, but he created something beautiful. He didn't have any blueprints or plans. 

Jenna did a good job staying with the group. She is getting too heavy to carry but luckily she is usually obedient. 
There were many trees like this.
Jenna was such a good girl

A walkway - I want!
Amazing shelf

Of course Jenna chose to stand in the middle of the chapel.

Going to a Pumpkin Patch and Liking It

So before Thanksgiving hits next week I guess I should record our adventures to the Fresno Pumpkin Patch. They had a few fun activities and we all (especially Jenna) had a good time. I am glad that she was old enough to enjoy it this year.
