Trail Cam

Adam has been baiting critters with his trail cam and a pile of field corn.   So far he's created quite the night time hot spot for the local wildlife.    These pics are not good quality since they are being taken at night by an old digital trail camera ... but you'll get the idea.

Raccoon hot spot ... count them, 5 raccoons!

Small buck enjoying the corn.

My favorite pics ... raccoons and deer sharing the corn.

We had one picture with 5 deer.   This one shows 3 of them.

And even a bunny and deer eating peacefully side by side.

Camera's back up to capture more wildlife.   Now it's a matter of trying to find enough corn to keep feeding all these animals!

More Fall Fun

Have I mentioned this has been a beautiful fall yet?   It has.  Great weather almost everyday!

We visited Lowden Park in Oregon last week.

Hunter was his typical can't wait to explore self and AJ wouldn't let me put him down or go near the statue until he knew it was safe.   Too funny.. those two are so opposite!

 Great view overlooking the river.  Then we did the stairs down to the river.   They are pretty much straight up and down!

Fall colors were beautiful!

We explored the paths for awhile.   

Note Hunter getting ready to chuck a big stick in the river.

This picture makes me laugh.  These two goofballs and their smiles, what am I going do?

A little better.

Hunter was getting tired and I thought we were going to have to carry him up the stairs.   We started him out and then all of sudden he shot up the stairs.  I couldn't have caught up to him if I wanted.   I barely made it myself and thankfully didn't have to carry anyone but myself!

Another great fall day.... gotta get out and enjoy them while they last!

My Kind of Fall

It has been a beautiful fall!  We've been doing as many outdoor activities as we can and trying to enjoy this nice weather while it last.    

We went to Klehm Arboretum last week.   I had never been with the kids and found out it was free on Monday's.   

It was such a nice day and we had so much fun exploring the gardens.

It's so kid friendly with a huge children's garden in the center of everything.

A huge hippo to find and climb thru... Hunter loved this!

We went with Madigan.  She wasn't as enthusiastic about climbing in the hippo and was most concerned about her boots getting dirty : )

We found "cow-a-flower" hiding in the secret garden.

There was also a huge maze and tower and the fish pond.

The kids loved the fish pond, we had to visit it a couple of times.

It was a beautiful, fun place.  Hoping we can visit one more time before the weather gets colder.
