Trenton trip to Oregon

Johns brother Jeff and his wife Katie live in Oregon. Their son Jake invited Trenton to come and spend fall break with them. Trenton worked really hard all summer cleaning the Real Soccer stadium and earned the money for his plane ticket. I was so proud of him. Well of course when it was time to go mom decided he can't go with out her so we had a mother and son week. We had so much fun with cousins and Katie kept us busy doing lots of fun things! This was Trent's first airplane ride and Trenton really wanted to meet the pilot . Well we did more than that. The pilot was awesome and had Trent come into the cockpit and sit and wear his hat and tell him all about the new controls they fly with. This plane has a joystick and petals they fly with. He took about 10 minutes with Trent and was so cool. So here is our future pilot! Katie took us to an amazing pumpkin patch that included a ride on a boat past sharks and pirates and also a train ride once you chose your pumpkins.
Here are Jaquelyn, Jake, Tent and Samantha on the boat.

They also had lots of old farm equipment.

Katie had a Halloween party to go to and guess who showed up to escort her...

We had such a great week. Many laughs and great times! Thanks guys.
