HALLOWEEN

So as Halloween approached, nobody seemed to be in the Halloween spirit that month so we didn't really plan on any costumes. In fact we didn't pull this together until the night of. It started off with me just dressing Trevor as a girl and then we went to Kenton and Anna's house to get me a costume. When Anna saw Trevor she wanted Kenton to do the same and then the girls dress up as boys! It was the funniest thing ever. So many people didn't recognize Trevor at first and that made it all worth it he says! :)

OREGON 2010

In August we set out to travel the coast of Oregon. We started at Multnomah Falls, made our way to Portland to see the Chinese Garden and then started making our way down the coast. It was beautiful. We stayed at a couple of KOA's along the way sleeping in our van. It was a lot of fun. We went to two lighthouses, saw the house that was in Goonies, tried lots of privately owned little restaurants, and did some hiking. The lighthouses and the Chinese Garden was my favorite!

My Favorite Lighthouse

Climbed up this to see beautiful Oregon. Looking around I felt like I was Lewis and Clark!

An old wrecked ship. It looked awesome with the sunset

AUGUST BBQ

This was our August Bon Fire. I was hitting yard sales with my mom when I ran acrossed this telescope. I got it for $5! So we had the idea of having a bon fire in the mountians so that I could see how it works! We called our friends and Mark and Dave ended up preparing a really nice BBQ. The way up the mountain actually sucked. We broke down on our three wheeler a couple of times. Some people didn't notice we weren't behind the anymore and it was kinda crowded on that little three wheeler with a telescope and a cooler on it! Anyways we finally get there and find an awesome camp place and had a great time! Food was delicious- they were serious bout their BBQ!

Over a three day weekend we took a road trip to California to break away from reality. We left on a Friday night and drove all night- getting there early the next morning. We got a camping spot near Newport beach and we just slept in our van. Our activities included Whale Watching, Beach Bumming, Coastline driving,Seashell collecting and shopping. It was so much fun and I can't wait to go back for a visit. My favorite part was falling asleep on the beach with the sound of the waves. It felt good. I'm still wondering why I bothered coming back.



While driving down the coastline we noticed a surfing competition going on so we stopped by to watch the surfer dudes!









It was warm outside but the water really was freaking cold! I couldn't go in past my knees!

Here we are sleeping on the beach all day. Wasn't too hot to get fried- Don't worry!
While in California we took a whale watching tour. Here we see a small blue whale. He did jump in the air twice but it happened too fast to catch in on camera.
