The Hansons visit Bakertown for some Fall Fun!

The Hansons came down to DC, and Wyatt enjoys some laughs with the newest Hanson, baby Cole!
We went back to the pumpkin patch for a day of guaranteed fun...and tractors.
Finn briefly goes into "helicopter mode" with Uncle Tommy!
The feature attraction was the "punkin chunkin" - a pumpkin launcher that chucked small pumpkins at 200mph into an abandoned car in a field. Fun, fun!
Finn gets ready to pull the trigger...
Tommy and Monika look on and admire Finn's pumpkin shot!
Dad and Wyatt strike a pose in a Pumpkin Patch!
Haybale fun with cousin Jake...
A hayride with a napping Wyatt.
Sean, Des and Jake enjoy the ride...
Mimi and Wyatt enjoy a little rest...
While E-pa and Finn have a good tickle!
3 Hansons, 3 Bakers!
It was a great weekend, with great weather and fun!

Halloween Parties!

Finn really wanted to dress up as "The Cowboy" from the duo "Spaceman-Cowboy" also known as Woody from Toy Story...he loved his costume!
And wore it to school for the Preschool Dress-up day and parade...
Then donned it again on Friday for Dad's office Halloween Parade! Here, he takes some treats from folks in the office...
Then takes a break with Dad - trick or treating is hard work!
Finn saddled up and rode home to see Wyatt before going off to sleep and dream of Sunday, the Main Event of trick or treating!

Just hangin' in Bakertown!

Wyatt's just been hanging out in bed...catching a few ZZzzz...
Or at least, trying to!
Having a laugh...

And Finn, rockin' out in the dining room...

R.I.P. big tree, and fall is here!

Finn takes a moment of silence to remember our big old tree in the backyard that recently had to be cut down due to a huge crack in it and a rotten trunk. We counted 60 rings before getting to the rotten part, so we guess it was at least 80 years old!
It sure was a biggie - took over 14 hours and a giant crane to take it down to Finn's level!
Saturday, we headed to a pumpkin patch, and discovered the fall festival at the orchard...complete with bouncy castle-goodness!
The sun was out, and the temperature was perfect!
Finn in the giant wooden tractor...
And Wyatt, posing as a little farmer!
Little mini tractors were everywhere...
And the big attraction was the alpine slide...Finn and Daddy take a test drive! When Finn asked me why I was going with him, I said "so I can take care of Finn!" and Finn replied "No, Daddy, I can take care of Finn." Ahh, he's growing up already...
So then, we let Finn go solo! Boy did he have fun!
Here's a video of Finn, going down the slide...

A family hayride...
Daddy and the boys...
And away went the tractors...towards the blue skies and pumpkin patch.
Tomorrow's the Takoma Park street festival, and more fall fun!

Hanging with the boys

Two handsome little men, sittin' on a couch!
"Hey Finn! When I grow up I want to be just like you!"
"I really fill out this diaper nicely, don't cha think?"
"Finn, no...na...tickle...silly...ha!"
