Lily trick-or-treating

Lily went trick-or-treating with her BFF.  June stayed home with her dad.  

Kinsley, Keagan and Holden for Halloween

We missed being at home and seeing the Landon kids in their costumes, but this is a picture that Raquel took.  

Trick or Treat-Halloween in Oregon

 Ready to go trick-or-treating

Melanie's friend and associate from the University had us over for dinner and then the kids went trick-or-treating in her neighborhood.  It was a beautiful night.  The kids had a great time.

Leaving Newport, Oregon

 Henry drew us a picture of the trip.

 Last time swimming at Schooner Landing.  The resort had a really nice heated pool and hot tub.

 The sun was shining today.  It was so warm and beautiful.  One last picture of my "whale".  He still has not moved.

 Lunch at the Chowder Bowl on Nye Beach.

 The boys were really enjoying the sunshine, chasing their shadows in front of the restaurant.

 A 'selfie' on Nye Beach.

 Nye Beach.  The sun is finally shining so it is a hard time to want to leave the beach and ocean.

This dog is even dressed up for Halloween.

Club House

 It was a rainy day again on Thursday.  So when we got back to kids enjoyed the Club House again.  Henry loved the toys there.

Oliver became a pro on the Air Hockey Table. He beat both Randy and I.  

Oregon Coast Aquarium

It was rainy again today so we did inside things again.   Yaquina Bay Bridge  (Cross the bridge and you are at the Aquarium)

 Oregon Coast Aquarium

 There are al or of interaction things to do at the Aquarium

 Pretend fishing, etc.

 Lots of fish

 More fish

 Hurricane Simulator-  Oliver  and Henry both liked being in the simulator.

 One of my favorites.

 Awesome

 Creepy

The Port of Newport

 We went down to the Port of Newport.  It is a historic part of Newport where a lot of fishing is still done.  It was so quaint.

 It is raining again so we had our umbrellas with us again.  Oliver, Henry, Randy and I.

 The one man on the boat is bringing in huge Tuna.  So interesting.

 There are Sea Lions on one part of the dock.  They are really noisy.

 We next went to Under Sea Gardens.

 There was a diver that did a demonstration for us.  She brought up several fish to show us.

 The tank was full of local fish and so interesting.

 Next we went to the Wax Museum.

 And then to the Ripley's Believe it or Not!

 Newport is famous for the Yaquina Bay Bridge.  Awesome looking.

 It was still a little rainy so we took the boys to the movie  "The Book of Life".  It was a cute movie.  We were the only ones in the theatre.  That is a good thing about the matinee.

 The rain stopped for awhile and Henry wanted to go out for a walk.  We walked part way down on the Beach Trail.  He loved walking on the rocks and the logs.  The ocean was at high tide and very wild still with all the wind.  But it was a great walk.

Back at the Condo, Oliver putting together a 1,000 piece puzzle and Henry watching a show.  We are enjoying taking care of the boys and getting better acquainted with them.

Oliver's School Play

 We drove from Newport to Monmouth to see Oliver's play.  The leaves are turning colors so it was a beautiful drive even though it was still raining.  We also saw a rainbow.

Oliver's play.  He had one of the speaking parts.  He was Charbonneau.  Years ago when I was in 5th grade I had the part of Sacajawea.  (Wow time flies)

 Waiting for the play to start.

 Sacajawea and Charbonneau  (Tianna and Oliver)

 The play was really good.  I am so glad we could be there for it.

 The kids all did great.

We ate at Burgerville after the play.  Then Randy, Oliver, Henry and I headed back to Newport.  

Rainy Day at Newport

 It is really rainy and windy today in Newport.  The waves on the ocean are awesome and large.  I am glad I am not out in a boat.

 The flowers are still beautiful here.  Lots of colors.

 We have just Henry here with us today.  Melanie has gone to Florida to a teachers conference; Ben is at work; and Oliver is at school.  We went outside for a little fresh air.  It was raining so we went for a walk in the rain.

 We went down to the playground for awhile.

Then we stopped at the Club House and played some inside games.  It is fun being with Henry.
