NOVEMBER 2020

 I stole away for a quick weekend trip to see my brother, Owen, and sister Heather in Boise. We did what we always do - eat good food and shop 'til we drop.









Here are a couple photos from Green Lake ....one of my many walks taken with Cleo. Gorgeous sunrise and fall colors!



We stayed home for Thanksgiving and it was just us four. I made a pie from a school fundraiser pie kit.

It was my first lattice crust and it turned out pretty!
We did our own family turkey trot near Green Lake.
We ended at Chocolati for hot cocoa afterwards.
Our other pie was a banana cream pie. Yum. Yum.
This was the year to do whatever we wanted for dinner, but I still wanted everything to be traditional. Good job, us! We did a small turkey breast and a lot of the typical sides we do every year.



It was chill, it was relaxing, and I think we watched the entire Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on TV. After which we watched a dog show. And then I recall watching Dan In Real Life. We watch a LOT of TV during Covid-times. Nobody is sad about that! Happy Thanksgiving!

OCTOBER 2020

 In October we went on a gorgeous hike in Mt. Rainier. It was the first time we'd been there. What views! What colors! It was majestic.















We went to a pumpkin patch. We got pumpkins and ate greasy food and went home happy,








Rainy day walk at a new park in town.



We carved our pumpkins and Sienna's friend joined us.






Our church did a drive-through trunk or treat. Pretty fun!

Our neighborhood did a socially-distanced trick or treat and it was more fun than previous years!

We went out with these friends (Noah was a demon court jester and Sienna was a bloody werewolf)...
and these friends....

We left this table out front with candy on it.
People put candy in trees, down chutes, dropped it off balconies, placed it on tables... really fun to see what each household came up with. 




Adam had to handle the dogs a few times since they were nervous about some of the decor.
I believe this is the last time we'll be trick or treating with them? They are growing up...
To end the night, Adam poured gasoline onto a TP roll inside his pumpkin and lit it on fire. It was a really entertaining way to end the day!
