The Oregon Coast

There is nothing better to celebrate being back to the West Coast than to hang out on Oregon's Coast for a week with people you love. We spent a week at Gearhart Beach (just north of Seaside) with Andy's side of our family. Highlights include: funny children, sand castles, beach grass, board games, GREAT food, BBC's Planet Earth (amazing), reading, walks on the beach, great weather, hiking at Ecola State Park, wave jumping (you could actually stand the water this year), a little bit of boogie boarding, relaxing and the sheer presence of those that you love. It was so nice.






Dan, Matt and Andy work on one of the many family sandcastle. Note the monster crawling up the side.










Rachel (our niece) works on the forest.









Our nephew, Jacob, gets a little sandy.









Our nephew, Nathan, gives us "Crazy."









Nathan gives us "Sweet."









Nathan calls this one his "Happy."





Matt, Sally, Andy and Erin pose with another family castle. This one was awesome.





Andy proud of his work.
