Beach Days

 We did something completely out of character for us!  This past Monday it rained a significant amount (over a half inch!).  Since we would not be able to farm for a few days we joined Roni Jo, David and Ryan James on the Oregon coast where they were vacationing!  It was a spur of the moment decision and it was a good one.  So much fun watching Ryan experience the beach and a few other special attractions.

Talking about the ocean....

and finding a dead crab.

We took a ride on the historic Oregon Scenic train pulled by a steam engine.

Ryan loved the train ride!



Roni Jo and Ryan dug a hole in the sand bank, big enough for Ryan to squeeze in to!

When our kids were little, they visited the Oregon coast several times and stayed with our Portland family, Dave and Therese and Margaret and Rob, at their cabin at Rockaway Beach.  A trip to Flamingo Jim's was a must stop event!  Naturally the tradition continued!!

We took a short hike to see the oldest tree in the Tillamook forest and on the way saw this cool tree covered in mushrooms.  

And Ryan spied a huge slug that was really fun to watch, move ever so slowly to a leaf.  

This is the old and very tall tree.
