Thanksgiving in Portland

After a very long but adventureous 20 hour drive, we arrived at Gina's for a delightful Thanksgiving break.  Gina and Max are wonderful hosts and we enjoyed Max's family too.  Lots of football, good food, and great conversation!  What more could you ask for?

State Capital and Wax Museum

On Tuesday, my class went on a field trip to the State Capital.  Our representative took us on a tour. It was pretty cool for the students.  I learned a lot as well about the process of presenting a bill and getting it passed.  The students got to sit in the House seats and hear about the history of the building and the room.  Representative Painter also bought them pizza and cookies and sadly that was the highlight for most of them.  

Robbie's wax museum was on Thursday.  He did awesome!

The One and Only Halloween Picture From Halloween

Halloween 2010

Recognize this guy, Austin.  We put him up in remembrance of you!  It just isn't as creepy but we love him!

The box is full of the first walnuts.  Robbie thinks he is going to sell them!

These pictures are for you, Austin!

Fall

Hurry and take the picture--we're cold!

This one is through the car window!

This one too.

I love the mountains in the fall.  Today we took a little ride up the canyon and it always amazes me!  We live in such a breathtaking place.

Moab 2010

A little rest on the way!

Just around the bend!

We decided to take a day trip to Moab.  I know, crazy right!  We did try to get a motel but because of the half marathon and fall break, there was nothing available.  So we left in the morning and came back late in the evening.  We knew that Kati would be tired after the hike to Delicate Arch, so we planned to see Dead Horse Point afterwards.  She did great on the hike and it was a great day!

Amazing!!

Look at these bums!  Love this picture because of Robbie's face!
