Fall Season - Halloween

Halloween is just two days away and were are all ready around here.  We spent the month of October searching for just the right pumpkin, getting our costume ready and decorating the house for all the visitors to come on Halloween night.  As for the pumpkins, we're still working on the "art" and will have to post later as to what they will end up as.  For this year, since I can still decided on the costume, Magali will be Madeline.  She plays the part very well and has her trusted dog by her side.  We will be going to the Halloween Parade on Saturday and the Halloween Parade part Deux on Sunday.  Trick or Treating will also take place this year but I have a feeling that our six trusty neighbors will be the only ones we will visit.  Here are a few pictures from our pumpkin patch experience.

Here is pumpkin!

Our Camping Experience

We decided to take a mini vacation and head up to Portland for a camping week.  Our plan was to start in Astoria, enjoy the beach, then head down to Portland then home.  After the first few days, we decided that Magali and I could stay two more weeks while Joel traveled around the country.  He would then head back to Portland and we could drive home together.  What a fabulous idea.  In total, Magali and I stayed camping for 23 days.  We got to explore Portland and the Oregon Coast as well as a few days in Seattle.  She did great and really enjoyed spending time with me and the outdoors.  Here are a couple pictures of our trip.
