Trip Stage 2: Oregon

I do miss the fall in La Grande. When we lived there I remember driving down second street just after the bridge and looking up at the canopy of golden yellow leaves above and thinking I wish my family could see La Grande on a day like this. It was a great week to be in La Grande. Since we're used to Juneau weather, Sydney and Wynn didn't mind the fall chill... Sydney was ecstatic to see so much sunshine and play on dry grass/sand. We had an awesome time playing at Grandma's house. Both kids loved the yard, grandma's hot tub, and playing with their cousins. We got to visit with the Huntsman cousins a good amount this visit and really enjoyed it. Sydney loved spending time with Kaylee and Emilee. Running around squealing and dancing and playing with Grandma were their favorite acitivities. We visited the park, a pumpkin patch, ate lunch with daddy at his "old work," and even visited the children's museum in Pendleton. It's a shame I never went when we lived there because its an awesome little musuem only 45 minutes away! Andy and I also got to go visit with our friends a few different evenings we were there. It was really good to see them and their new additions. We miss Grandma Shinsel and Papa a lot. Grandma always makes us laugh and smile and Papa always has something neat to teach and show us.
