Halloween

For Halloween, Aria chose to be a Goddess, Zade was Chris from Wild Kratts, wearing a creature powersuit, Ryzen was a skeleton, and Nova was a pirate. The kids got a triple installment of trick-r-treating this year: 1) at their school, 2) trunk or treat at the church, and 3) Halloween itself. Needless to say, they've got plenty of candy to last a long time. 




Aria wanted us to carve Picachu from Pokemon, Zade wanted a face full of sharp teeth, and Ryzen had the little jack-o-lantern with a smiley face. So I got busy carving, and with the kids help, we got the job done. We were all pleased with the final products. 


OMSI
To make sure the kids had a good time when we went up tot the temple, we took the kids to OMSI up in Portland. They enjoyed the whole museum, and especially liked the submarine.





Aria enjoyed the fun house mirrors that made her appear 4 or 14. The pictures don't do justice to the scene, but they give a taste of what she saw. 


Return of the rains
We had some good rain recently and the wetlands are coming alive again. Now that the ponds have water in them, the geese and ducks are returning.
