Pumpkin Patch 2010

Despite having a cold, the Dr said the cool air would be good for Mitchell's croup. So we headed to the pumpkin patch. We normally go to Lakeview Farms in North Plains but this year we stayed local to Albany. We went to Grandpa's Pumpkin Patch. Although there wasn't a boat and train to ride, they did have wheelbarrows!

Soccer

This is the first year our kids are playing soccer. They are both #4. Madilynn and Mitchell are loving the sport. Its more involved which is good for Madi. T-ball was way to slow for her attention span. Mitchell is getting an early start since he is only 4 and playing on a team of 6 and under boys. He loves it and thinks he is a superstar. (and of course mom thinks that too). It has been so much fun spending our Saturdays at the fields watching them. They will play again in the Spring on the same teams so I can't wait to watch them again.

Fall Family Trip

Since we didn't get any family vacation this summer we did a mini trip to the coast in September. We spent one night in a yurt at Umpqua Lighthouse State Park on the central Oregon coast. We had a blast despite the cool, cloudy weather. The kids still played in the ocean and on the beach, they are true Oregonians! We had fresh fish & chips for dinner on a floating dock and then had a campfire outside our yurt.
