Happy (Belated) Halloween!

Better late than never, right?!

I have no pictures of my kids dressed up for Halloween this year because we didn't participate in trick-or-treating!  Instead we "dressed up" as Olympic swimmers (regular swimming suits, not speedos!) and spent the evening swimming and going out for ice cream.  WAY MORE FUN!!!

However, we did participate in a pumpkin carving contest.  Such a great time....

 

 This contest was serious business!!

Get ready for image overload!!

We just returned from our 3 week trek out to the Oregon coast.  Our first stop was Fairmont Hot Springs.  Sorry, no images from Fairmont this year!

Second stop: Seeley Lake

This easily has become a favorite spot!  The boys LOVED being at Seeley and fishing for the first time.  We had awesome hosts.  A huge thank you to Peter, Sarah, Blue & Aida for a wonderful weekend.  Your cabin is amazing and the view is absolutely fantastic!
