Oregon Trip

This last Thursday we headed to Oregon late in the day. As Adam and I would like to go twice a year at least if possible, we figured that going for George's last home football game was a good reason since we haven't seen very many of his games throughout his high school years. It was senior night and was pretty emotional for him after they ended up losing, however I do have to say that George was giving it his all on every pass that went his way, diving and laying out for anything. He did make a great catch and ran it in for a touchdown towards the end of the game, only to see the other team turn around and run the ball a long ways into the endzone and that was how the game would end. Tyson was asking after the game where Georgie was and so after he finished talking with his friends we snatched a shot of him in his uniform before he changed. It was a bummer that Vaughn left that night on a long trip to Texas for the guard and then George Saturday morning for a leadership training at Seaside. We did take the kids to the trunk or treating at the church, so for everyone that thinks I'm horrible for not getting into the Halloween groove then you'll be happy to know that I put some dog costume on Lincoln and did ask Tyson if he wanted to get dressed up in some giraffe costume, but he must be like me when it comes to dressing up because he did not want to and of course I did not make him. I snuck back inside to help clean up at the church from the chili feed they had and somebody took Tyson around to get candy. And, no I do not have any pictures of the little animals. While at home Tyson took a great liking to Auntie Clara. We caught him climbing on her back and shoulders, playing with her hair, and sitting next to her so quietly. The trip home was long as we left late in the day, but we did make sure to stop and visit Sondra and Spencer (one of Adam's sisters). She lives far from family so we were glad to see them and she fed us some yummy Asian food (don't know how to even begin to pronounce let alone spell it). Tyson took a liking to Daniel's headset and music and kept wanting a turn. The kids did very well considering the long trip that it was. We got back Monday morning at 2:30 and experienced the nightly interruptions from Tyson waking up screaming to Lincoln waking up starving. The boys did take long naps yesterday morning into the afternoon, so that was nice as I tried to catch up on some organizing. We are glad to be home, but do wish that we could have stayed a little while longer in Oregon. Don't forget to vote!
