Summer comes to a close...

We are back. I think Jason about had to pry me away from the Oregon Coast. I absolutely love it there. It was only in the high 70s at its hottest. My favorite activities were feeding the seals at the aquarium and learning to bodyboard in the ocean. SO FUN!

The kids loved to ride the old fashioned carousel, play at the beach, discover Uncle Dallin's latest seashell finds,dig in the sand with Uncles Dustin and Evan, swim in the pool, go on walks with "Nana and Bapa" (as Carter calls them), and feed the seals. The girls went on a Lewis and Clark "expedition" with my Mom one day that they found rather fun I must say.

Lauren loved to play in the sand and waves. Taylor didn't want anything to do with the waves, but played happily in the sand. Carter was happy to be outside with everyone. Jason loved to watch the beach sunsets. He also enjoyed golfing with my dad and bros where he decided he's good 11% of the time.

I tried all sorts of seafood one night at Doogers. Crab, Razor clams, scallops, prawns, calamari. (I was trying what everyone else ordered.) We didn't get to go clamming or crabbing. The guys didn't go fishing either, but we still had a lot of fun.

I enjoyed spending time with my family. I loved being with all my brothers as that doesn't happen too often. So, if you are reading this brothers of mine...You guys are the best and I love you!

It was a fantastic way to end the summer of 2008. My girls started school this morning so I'm enjoying spending some quality time with my little man CJ.
