Back to Portland

Just a quick trip to Portland for a Timbers game.

Louis is getting into Leggos.

The trees are full of berries.

We stopped in Hood River to load up with the Fruit harvest and then all gathered in Redmond for some Fall activities.

Louis was transfixed by the mirror in the play house.

He's flying up and down the stairs. Seems like yesterday they were a complete barrier to him.

We went out to the Smith Rock corn maze. There were pony rides.

Dutifully recorded.

The Corn maze was done in a Godzilla theme.

The slide was still there.

Smith Rock with some dramatic lighting. Would love to have it out our back yard.

There was a sale on Halloween costumes at Freddys. Nina wants to be a cat but can't find the right costume.

Things are almost back to whatever normal is around here. In the 80s today, 60s tomorrow.

Hoping to do a Steelhead drift trip before the end of the year. Working now on Amy's Juniper tables and refining the camping arrangement.  The car top tent works well but after setup you lose a lot of mobility. I'm looking at putting it on a small trailer. Trying to keep it light enough to pull with the Subaru. We'll see!

Teri is getting into weaving. No loom yet but soon.

Here is the result of her first two day class.  The photo is slightly distorted; there is no variation in the width.

Hope the coming storm is not the beginning of winter; snow is forecasted in the mountains. I've heard stories of winter already showing up in Alaska. Imagine that!

Weather's perfect here.

But, winter is coming.
