Oregon Trip Part 2

So, as mentioned, after a couple of days of running around, we spent the rest of the week at home and did lots of crafts and fun things around Allie's neighbourhood.  Of course, we first had to put the kids in their "Aunt" shirts and stage an awesome photo shoot.

We had to get our monsters out!

My buddy!

Abby's shirt says it all!

T wasn't too excited to get a group shoot!

Abby thinks Gary is the best!

Allie and I had a great time with the kids and hanging out together.  I miss her when she lives so far away!  We found Tayson's first halloween costume and of course, we had to put Abby in the costume.  The funny thing was, Tayson still fit it in (barely!)

Funny, a 3-6 month outfit still fits Tayson!

Abby dino/dragon - we couldn't decide which it is!

Of course our little dino/dragon needs a sheep to eat!

We had to add the bow - to make sure you know its a girl dinosaur

We also had to go to the park.  Where Abby slept while Tayson played.  

While at home, we also had a few days of crafting.  Allie made Abby all kinds of hair bows and taught me how to crochet (I think I need to buy yarn and a needle now!)  We also carved the pumpkins and made Tayson's halloween costume.  Tayson was very interested in the carving, but did not want to get his hands yucky!  He did like the drawings I did on the little pumpkins; he dictated that I should make one a cat and loved to carry it around.  It was so cute to hear Tayson try to say "Jack-o-lantern".  He is so cute.  Allie is also lucky that just beyond her backyard there is a Christmas tree farm, with llamas!  So, we did have to take a walk to visit the llamas.  Tayson loves animals too, so he was only too happy to show his cousin Abby his "pets".

Pumpkin time, T didn't enjoy the guts!

Walking in the field with the kiddos in the wagon.

Tayson wanted to pull Abby in the wagon and cuteness ensued!

Counting the llamas and goats.

Tayson tells Abby all about the goats.

Abby traveled so well, and adjusted to home time pretty quickly (helped that the time changed soon after we arrived).  We can't wait to see everyone again soon... but the next time we won't be flying into Oregon - we'll be heading to Prince George, B.C.  It was a wonderful trip, spending time with my sister and my buddy Tayson (and Gary too!), is always a great time.
