We were able to have a full weeks vacation a few weeks back thanks to Brett's school being Jewish based. ( they get a lot of time off this time of year) With that time off, we headed up to Oregon to visit Brett's parents at their new house in Bandon.
While we were there we went to the beach. When the tide was really low we were able to see tiny little crabs, starfish, sea urchins, muscles, and collected some really neat looking rocks. Chloe got a kick out of the rocks. We stopped in one spot for what must have been 15 minutes picking up every rock in our path. Oh and I was the lucky one who got to hold onto those marvelous things.
We go to take in the sights of Bandon as well. We ate fish and chips and salmon burgers on the boardwalk, had really good ice cream that Chloe totally stole from us, and we got to see the local artwork along the walk as well.
So Chloe has picked up my stance. You can see in the above picture here that she now prefers to stand with both hands on her hips. Oh how she loves to mimic me.
On the weekend, we took ( well I guess they technically took us) to a pumpkin patch so Chloe could pick out her very first pumpkin. She had such a great time looking for that special one. After a while, Brett ended up picking out that perfect pumpkin because Chloe just couldn't make up her mind. Unfortunately we did not have time to carve the pumpkin, we got involved in so many other things.

SO this is Jack. The newest member of the Schweizer family. No not mine and Brett's, but his parent's. They got him at 6 weeks old and he is the sweetest most handsome puppy I have seen in a long time. At first Chloe was scared of him, he likes to play with her and jump on her which she did not like at all. But after a few days she warmed up to him and was instigating the play. It really made em want to get her a pet, but then I remembered the cleanup and food and cost of a pet and I realized how perfect our family was with just the three of us in it.
We had such a great time visiting Grandma and Grandpa Schweizer. We can't wait to see them again.

It's interesting to see that Chloe has inherited yet another trait from her Mom - her difficulty in choosing a pumpkin is suspiciously like your trouble choosing a Christmas tree... ;)
So glad you all had a great visit in Oregon.
