Oregon-Day 3- October 25th

 Ben went to work and Melanie went to teach her class.  Randy took Oliver to school and then came back and we watched Henry.  What a delight.  He made owl sacks and played with jumping spiders.

 We took Henry to his school and then Melanie came with us to eat lunch at "Cafe 22".

 After school we all went to the Pumpkin Patch at Airlie Hills.

Oregon-Day 2- October 24th

 The scenery totally changed.  This is what I envisioned Oregon to look like.  Lots of trees, mountains, lakes, just beautiful.  The pine trees are green and the other trees are changing colors.

 Sisters was the first town we went through.  It was so quaint and unique.

 Mount Washington.  Breathe taking

 Detroit Dam.

 Salem, Oregon

 Ben, Melanie, Oliver and Henry Hays home in Independence, Oregon.  It just feels so homey and comfortable for them.  They are loving it in Oregon.

 We got there in time to pick Oliver up from school.  He does not like his picture taken so I have to snap quick.  It is so fun to see the grand kids.

 We picked Henry up from his school also.  He is such a delight.

Melanie took us around her campus, Western Oregon University.  What a beautiful school.

Idaho to Oregon-Day 1-October 23rd

 We started out early on Wednesday morning and headed towards Oregon.  Not much to  see different from Rexburg to Boise.  The wind farms are pretty cool though.

 We stopped in Boise for lunch and drove by the Boise Temple also.  It has totally been remodeled and looks so beautiful.  Beautiful colors on the flowers still and the leaves are turning colors.  A beautiful contrast.

We crossed the Idaho boarder and entered Oregon and took Route 22 and headed to Bend.  There is nothing across there.  You would have thought you were driving across Nevada.  Western Oregon is pretty dry and desolate.  In fact we were close to running out of gas before we got to Bend.  One thing about Oregon they pump your gas for you.  Sorry 'mom', You have always said it is as cheap to drive on the top half of the tank of gas as the bottom.  We were so glad to get to civilization. We spent the night in Bend, Oregon.

89th Ward Fall Social

The 89th ward put on a fall social.  The students came dressed up and had a great time.  It is amazing how creative they can be with what they find in their apartments.  

Fall in Rexburg

I love this tree in our front yard in the fall.  It always has such pretty colors.
