We just got back from a great week in Oregon. Joel had some work up there to do over Independence Day weekend, so the rest of us tagged along. It's basically a small community of vacation rental homes, shops and outdoor activities. Pictured here is the home we rented. It was great having 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen, even a washer and dryer while on vacation.
The deer here were not afraid of people. This picture isn't great, but there were 4 deer wandering between the two houses across the street. They came all the way up to the road before heading down the street. The kids were thrilled to see them. Behind Ethan is a neighboring vacationer who was riding bikes with the kids.
We rented a trailer from a local bike shop so we could go on a family ride. There is over 30 miles of paved bike trail around the area. All I can say is, Emily, I can see why you want to move to this state, the scene is amazing and there is so much to do!
As most of you know I like to do a family theme for our Halloween costumes. This year we did a western theme, although Austin would not wear his hat, he was a cowboy too. This picture was taken at the end of the night at our ward harvest festival, so we were tired and falling apart, but you get the idea.
Austin enjoyed the treats, while everyone else enjoyed the games. I couldn't post the picture, because I look ridiculous, but I thought you should know I kicked Joel's butt at the donut eating contest. So what does that prove.. um... that I'm the bigger pig, I guess.
