Halloween Adventures

Halloween was a lot of fun this year.  Lots of new adventures and the return of some of our favorites.  Our adventures started with at trip to the "pumpkin patch".  Back many moons ago a family started growing pumpkins for the students in their children's classroom.  They now provide pumpkins for all the kindergarten classes in the area.  Due to our challenging growing environment the family now ships in pumpkins from Sauvie Island closer to the valley.  We loaded up on the buses and headed out.

First trip on a school bus!

 Our next adventure took us out to Fort Clatsop for their Spiders, Owls, and Bats oh my event.  Gherkin was excited to wear his bat costume to the event.

Looking cool!

 Gherkin was excited to participate in our church's family night for carving pumpkins.

 We returned to the assisted living center again this year for trick-or-treating.  This year Gherkin made Popsicle stick puppets as his treat for the residents.

Super Bat!

Our Friends - what fun!!!
