| This month saw us moving indoors for our Jiichan outings - the weather was still pretty fair and warm, but it seemed the thing Venice and Casey wanted. In mid-month, the collective families trekked north of Eugene to Thistledown Farm to harvest pumpkins and squash for the upcoming holidays. We were treated to a walk on a mini-covered bridge, a horse-drawn trailer ride out to the pumpkin patch, and hunting and finding individual pumpkins - and there was a horse-drawn trailer ride back with our pumpkins... |
The extended family came together at the end of the month at Diana and Chris' home for a Halloween celebration - fun and games in the late afternoon before dinner, a fun dinner, and then out into the neighborhood for Trick or Treat and all that candy fun. Many of the neighbors did well by the decorations of their houses, and that, too, was a treat for the tricksters. Venice was a faerie princess, Casey a bold knight, Xander was Anthony of the Wiggles, and Teiya was the Teletubby, Po - how cute they all were...! |
