Andy and I were gifted a night away at Timberline Lodge on Magnificent Mt. Hood!

we were excited to get away together but had no clue how fun it would actually be...

To say the weather was perfect would be a major understatement. 70's warm and not a

cloud in the the stunning blue sky! After we checked in we headed out to explore the trails that are usually covered in heaps of snow...

andy busy carving...

after our amazing 2 hour hike we enjoyed a wonderful dinner watching the sunset

and movies in our fireplace room!

a great time in deed!

amazing what a year can do!

the Pumpkin Patch

today we had our annual trip! a little earlier then usual, but with Haiti happening 2 weeks from today, our October this year is not going to be typical! Alomae had a blast... running through the corn maze, watching the cow train go by, riding the hayride, picking out (and kissing) pumpkins... SO much fun! Andy and I have gone to the pumpkin patch every year since we began dating (thats 8 years now) but I have to say, having a little one present makes it SO much fun!
