On Sunday, October 8th we drove out to Hood River with the McCarthy family. There, we wandered through a corn maze, walked through a pumpkin patch, drank home brewed root beer, sampled and bought fresh apples, and spent time with wonderful friends. What a fun day! The Sunday drive was also a fun outing in our new 2002 Toyota Camry. To see more photos click here.

A day at the tulip fields in Woodburn with Beth, Andrea, and Gavin. Beautiful flowers!

Picture Perfect Scene. After our time in Europe, we had a chance for some R&R at Lost Lake. We had a wonderful time as we hung out by the lake, hiked around the lake, and enjoyed the view of Mt. Hood. This camping trip allowed some much needed rest and "us" time.

A kiss captured in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. This was at Beth and Thomas' wedding (Heather's sister and now brother-in-law). Heather was the maid of honor and Scott was the husband tag-a-long. We had fun spending time Andrea and Gavin (our niece and nephew).

Here is a picture of us in LeDay, Switzerland. It was a small stop on our way from Bern to LeBrausses to visit Heather's relatives. We had a wonderful time in Valley de Joux and would love to go there again next summer.
