To Owen's house we go!

Hale and I took off for a great adventure in Yakima last week! We had a great time visiting with my friend Jen and her two boys Owen and Silas. Owen and Hale were like two peas in a pod and played so well together. It was so fun - Jen and I had a great time visiting.

We were especially excited to see Jen and CJ's newly completed house.

It is only too bad that it is already haunted.



No, actually I got a huge kick out of Jen's Halloween decorations. She's the only one I know that can put a skeleton and a huge hairy spider in her living room and make it look sophisticated.



So, Hale, as I mentioned was in total country-boy heaven. Owen shared his interest in sticks, rocks, dirt, and bugs. And the weather was so awesome (85 degrees in October?) that we didn't even make them put on proper clothes before they went outside. They just woke up and ran right out to play in their jammies. That's what washing machines are for, right?



Jen and I had our coffee and watched the boys play out the kitchen window.



Hmm...I think I need a fenced yard.

We also made a trip to the pumpkin patch. It was a lot of fun, despite the unseasonably warm weather (we were all sweating by the time we left).



A hay maze!



Decisions, decisions!



Thanks Jen! It was so fun.
