Here's a good one....



Looking for something good to read? Nothing compares to Twilight, but this one comes close in my opinion (in a different way though). Stephenie Meyer recommended it on her website, so I thought I'd try it. I couldn't put it down. It's not a love story, but there is a little romance in it. It's like a bad car accident you can't look away from. I hated what I was seeing in the story but I couldn't stop reading. Different, but good. If you read it, let me know if you liked it.

Pumpkins

We went and picked out pumpkins yesterday, and we sat the kids on this hay bale for a photo op. Hadlie is so funny. She either cheeses really big or poses. She decided to make a fist under her chin to pose, without being told. It was all her idea. She's actually very photogenic when she's not trying too hard, but she always has to be doing something nerdy. I love ya Hads!

I love this mischevious looking smile!

Gracie took alot of pride in choosing her own pumpkin. I think we looked at almost everyone in the field. But she had more fun going through the falling apart hay bale maze or whatever it was supposed to be.

More Forks Pics!!

Bellas truck with Charlie
The Cafeteria

Forks High School (not a great pic, but it's the only one i got) They were giving tours on this day because it was Stephenie Meyer day in Forks (Sept. 13th, Bella's Birthday)
On our last night in Forks, went to La Push where the real Quiliuete tribe did a tribal wolf dance for us, the we went down to first beach for a bonfire and storytelling.

Stupid shiny volvo!

Brandie and the poor local boy that everyone was lining up to take pictures with because they all thought he was a Jacob look a like.
(He was even wearing a leather jacket and holding his motorcycle helmet.)

We got up at 5 am to hike down to the beach during low tide and see the tidepools.There were starfish and anemones everywhere.

First Beach


On our way into La Push
Everywhere we drove, this is what it looked like.
Even though we were still in town, it felt like we were up the canyon!

The pier in Port Angeles

The famous mushroom ravioli.......... MMMmmm
