Jairus Visits Forest Grove!

So, we pretty much had an awesome time while my brother, Jairus, came to visit us. Dave and Jairus are sitting at the bottom of the Indian God of death, don't look into his eyes! Just kidding! This is an Indian Longhouse at Fort Stevens, near Astoria, Orgeon.

Sargent Keith and Leiutenant Parkinson getting revved up to go on a driving excursion. Don't worry Lincoln only has his learners permit.




Jairus and I look out from the command station! Looks pretty serious!




After all was said and done, the boys had to go to timeout for having too much fun!






Don't worry, it's not loaded...or is it???




This is an old war battery from World War II. It was really neat to try an imagine what this place would have been like during its glory days. It was also a little creepy!




Here we are at Cannon Beach! It was a lot of fun visiting the beach at low tide. We were able to see crabs, fish, and even ginormous starfish. Pretty cool!



Just having a tender moment...so was that lady in the background.









This was Jairus keeping Lincoln entertained! Lincoln was laughing so hard he could barely breathe. What a great uncle! Thanks for a great week with a lot of laughs! Love ya!





Camping!!!

We had such a fabulous time camping at the Champooeg (cham-poo-ee) Campground. We were lucky enough to be joined by our friends, the Pitts and the Johansens. We basked in the glorious outdoors, even while it rained, and thoroughly enjoyed roasting hotdogs, starburst, and even concocting some delicious s'mores. Lincoln really enjoyed playing in the dirt, freaking his mom out while walking around the fire pit, and throwing rocks in the Williamette River. He also loved playing with his friend, Ryan. Isn't she so cute!
Just lovin' the great outdoors!




We loved having Jairus come and visit us! Please come back soon!
Thanks everyone for a fabulous time!
