We visited Hoffman Farm’s pumpkin patch with our neighbors to pick up Halloween decor and the boys got through the corn maze in under an hour!

Water Waves for Wednesday
We checked out an indoor aquatic park in Clackamas, Oregon, and enjoyed their amenities for the “Big Surf” session. They had a deep wave pool with clear tubes and three water slides to propel out of.
Since it’s indoors, I can see us visiting in the winter when we need to get out of the house. The North Clackamas Aquatic Park is closer to home than Wings and Waves and Great Wolf Lodge, and is much more economical. Even though we were out of district, it cost us $60 for one and half hours of playtime.

Portland Bridge Pedal 2023
There was one route I had not rode yet for the Portland Bridge Pedal—the longest one—the Fremont Express. In 2018, I walked 5 miles for the Bridge Stride, biked the 12-mile family route in 2019, caravanned with Jake for the 20-mile main route in 2021, and added a bubble machine and Bruce for 2022’s family route.
This year, I completed all of the routes with the 23-mile Fremont Express.
Fiddler on the Roof was a movie that Jenni loved and wanted me to watch it with her. It was years ago and I don’t remember any of the storyline or songs. Perhaps I fell asleep during the movie.
But Jenni continues to make references to it, mainly the iconic songs like “If I Was A Rich Man” and “Do You Love Me?” So it came as no surprise that she wanted to be part of a local theater’s production.

70th Birthdays at Pacific City
Jenni’s parents celebrate their 70th birthdays this year and the family met in the middle between their birthdays (February and December). Jenni’s brother Rex flew in from North Carolina and we gathered at a beach house for three days to enjoy the surf, fireworks, digging in the sand, sous-vide steaks, and desserts.

Big on Blueberries
Jenni got a notification that our favorite blueberry farm was opening the next day. So we got to Hillside Blueberries at 7am to pick their plump blueberries. I guess we were too excited and hauled back 45 pounds and got featured on their blog.
Our latest addition to our Marvel United collection, just in time for the recent Spider-Man animated film.
