So Eventful!

Halloween this year was a blast!



We spent our afternoon at the OSU vs UCLA Homecoming game and had AWESOME seats thanks to a friend that wasn’t using his season tickets.



Popcorn was enjoyed

.

A single UCLA fan with a seat in front of ours came very close to getting his ears flicked. There's a different section for your type- ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STADIUM!



Emmie couldn't get enough of of her Dorothy costume. It was my first attempt at sewing clothing, so I was pretty excited that she liked. So much in fact, that she chose it over her favorite footy pajamas that night.



Our feeble attempt at the wizard, wicked witch, and Dorothy. At least Emmie looked authentic.

Our night was chased by some half-priced appetizers at Applebees, and of course, candy. Hope your Halloween was just as fun!

There were lots o' Sea Lions...

Last week we decided to take a spur-of-the-moment trip over to Newport to see Mr. Cheney’s parents, and play on the beach. As it turned out, it wasn’t very warm so the playing on the beach part had to be nixed, but as a consolation, we got to see “the boys”. These are the Newport sea lions that come up from California every winter. For some bizarre reason, the males leave the females and come up north to the cold. I can’t say that I don’t question the intelligence of men sometimes. But, regardless of their intelligence, they were fun to watch off the pier, and it was even more fun to watch Emmie’s reaction to the whole scene.



It was so incredibly loud the entire time we were there. The sea lions were constantly honking (?). I feel bad for the homes and businesses around that have to hear it all day everyday. But I suppose they get used to it.





If you can get over to Newport, OR this winter it's definitely worth a stop at the bay front. What's better is that it's FREE! Wahoo!
