October Fun

I was traveling a lot during October but things were happening in Oregon as well.

After a full summer of zoom meetings for his Japanese tutor while she was in Japan Julian finally got to meet up again with her in Portland to learn. Hyrum took him out for dinner to celebrate.

I hosted book club. We read 4 short stories and discussed them all. They were all spooky stories, of course

Julian is doing such a great job driving. He is taking drivers ed and doing well in that class.

There was no school on a Friday so Julian and I met up with my friend Cami and her daughter Malia for a hike around Silver Falls State Park. Malia and Julian are in the same grade and it was fun to hear them chatting together the whole hike.

After the hike Julian and I went to Corvallis to say hi to the twins

We took the Skinny Dan out of the water for the season. It's always a sad day when we take the boat out of the water but we had gorgeous weather, so that was good

Katrina, Steve and I went to a bar in downtown Portland full of other Bills fans to watch a game. The Bills WON!!!

Julian and Hyrum out for a walk on Sauvie Island

Hyrum took the boys to a pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins. I'm sad I missed out on this tradition, I was in Virginia helping Paige with her kids.
