Payne Acres

Here we are wearing this year's costumes. We had fun dressing up together and doing something a little different. We can't believe how creative people were at our ward party. We are going to be thinking about our costume ideas a lot sooner next time!

Tonight we attended a Harvest Celebration for our Ward. It has been a long time since Rich and I dressed up together. This picture is from 1990, when we were dating. I am the psych nurse with my mental patient. We really had fun doing that.

I found this picture in an old folder and couldn't resist putting it up in honor of the Autumn season (my favorite time of year). When Jeffy was 7 months old we took the Pumpkin Express on the Thunder Mountain Train Line.

We woke up early to "explore" the beach and get a few morning pics. I love this "action" shot, as the kids realize that the waves have crept slowly closer to them. No one is ready to get wet -- but not much later the shoes came off!

We took a week off in September to camp on the Oregon Coast. The weather was fantastic and can you believe it...we actually all had sunburns! We flew kites and even tried skimboards. Some were better at it than others.
