Since my last post, we have had a few new adventures.
We had fun at the County Fair. We saw lots of fun things and had a few snacks. Here is Paul climbing the Army's rock wall.

We had a BBQ at church.

The first day of school was Tuesday after Labor Day. Paul is in 6th grade and Mandy in 4th.

The weather is still pretty good in the northwest so on the 12th of September we went on a hike with my folks. Here is one of two waterfalls we saw.
Three generations enjoying the outdoors.
Thank you Lord for tall trees!

The hikers!

The second waterfall.
It was an easy hike but it was a really warm afternoon. Even the kids were sweating!

Newport Aquarium
For Paul's birthday he wanted to go to the coast and to the aquarium. Here he is at one of the touch pools.

Mandy got to touch the shark.

Here is a starfish.
We met my brother and his family at Kyllo's for dinner. Then we all walked down to the beach.

We saw the sunset from the beach.

It was another reminder we have so much to be thankful for!!
