Ryan's Fishing Escapades

Ryan has been going fishing every Thursday for the last month. The result has been good. He has tagged out 12 Coho Salmon and pretty much taken over the whole freezer. A few of the days he has come home with 3 fish (the most he can catch in a day). Here are some pics of him and his fish.

Good Job Sweetie!

Our Pumpkins

These are our pumpkins this year. Mine is a ghost, and Ryan's pumpkin was so big that he made a skelaton on one side and a ship on the other side.

Crabbing

Yesterday we went to the ocean to go and catch some crabs. We only caught a few but we couldn't keep them because they were females. But it was still really fun anyways. We started off by feeding the seagulls. They really liked cheetos.

This is the crab trap they are really heavy when you are pulling them out of the water. I slipped once and hit my cheek on the boat.

My MONSTER crab!

Guess where we're going???

Orlando! And the Bahamas! I'm soooo excited!!! Ryan and I are finally going to take a honeymoon trip in December. (I call it a honeymoon trip because we never got to go on ours) We are going to fly to Orlando on a Saturday, go do something fun, see my cousins who live there, then go on a 5 day 4 night cruise to the Bahamas which will leave on a Monday. We'll get back on friday and go do something fun in Orlando friday & Saturday then fly home on Sunday. It will be a blast!! Eight days of pure fun. Can't wait!

Our boat

I just thought I would show you Ryans little toy. His boat. He loves this thing! We bought it this summer and have only been able to take it out a few times. Ryan is so funny about it, I keep it at my school and every single day he asks me to go check on it and make sure its ok. You would think it was alive or something.

Our Weekend Trip

So this last weekend Ryan and I went for a little trip. We drove down to southern Oregon on Saturday morning to go to a steer sale and then we stayed the night in Medford, Oregon. I really wanted to drive over to the beach on Sunday morning and drive all the way up Hwy 101 beccause its beautiful, but I had never driven from Medford to the coast so we ask a friend we saw at the sale what was the best way there and he told us Hwy. 199. So we take Hwy 199 and are driving for ever, then suddenly we came to a fruit and veggie check point. Then we all the sudden realized we had drove an hour and a half south to Northern California! Holy Moly. Then we had to keep going on that road and ended up in...... are you ready........

THE REDWOOD FOREST!!!!!!!

That is soooooooo far away from our house. Well it ended up being really cool seeing all the big tall trees and I think Ryan really liked it too. Here is a picture of him in one of the trees.


We finally ended up on the coast & drove up Hwy.101 and landed at the West Coast Wild Animal Park. It was a interactive petting zoo were you could pet wild animals and feed them. They had so many lions, tigers, monkeys, kangaroos, bears, ect. that were so close to you. It was awesome.
