Each year in the autumn, we find a sunny afternoon to walk the trail from the Netul Landing to Fort Clatsop. It has become a tradition to look for the "fuzzy bear" caterpillars as we go. We were not disappointed this year - we found caterpillars before we even got to the actual trail.
Toe was very gentle with the caterpillars he encountered, waiting patiently for them to climb on his hand.
We immediately noticed a resemblance between the caterpillars and J's new "face ferret." J grew the mustache for a show he's in. The final performance is tonight, but the mustache will stay until Halloween. Toe wants J to dress up as Mario for Halloween (to go with his Yoshi).

We tried to take a photo of J with the mustache and Toe with a caterpillar on his face, but we realized quickly that those guys are REALLY prickly when they get close to your face!

J liked the idea, though, and branched out to slugs as well....

It was a beautiful day - sunny and cool - with no wind. It served as a great contrast to the storm last week.
We also found a snake on our walk. At first, we thought it was dead, but it was just resting.

August, September, and October are the busiest time of the year at J's work, and he has been doing a show at our local theater to fill in for a friend (who had some family issues at the last minute). It has been a very busy month for us and we have not had much family time. It was SO nice to have time this day to remember that we truly enjoy spending time together.
