Adventures In Oregon

Right down the street from Lea and Jeff are Empire Lakes with a surrounding forest full of trails that you could get lost in. It was so fun to take the grand kids on a walk. Of course they didn't have to do much walking, as you can see.

The girls loved chasing all the birds. I wish we would of thought to bring bread for them to feed the birds. I did get a huge goose to come up to me with a morsel of a cracker.



 This day we went hiking at Cape Arago, our favorite place to go when we visit Lea and Jeff. It is one of the most prestine coasts I've ever seen.

Will loved being in this baby carrier that Lea had. As long as you're moving he was content. We were glad Lea had it. We used it a lot. It was a life saver.

Another favorite place to visit is Bandon Beach. We took Lea, the twins, Cordie, and Will. I couldn't believe Lea had never been there and it's only 24 miles away from her. I think she and Cordie were impressed. There are so many amazing rock formations.

         The kids had a great time climbing on the rocks. And collecting rocks and shells.

Cordie and her baby boy William.





We had to have a least one night for a bonfire. At Bastendorff Beach.

I bought these dresses for the girls. Madi is in blue, Gracie is in green. I bought one for my Olivia too. I wish she and Ian could of been with us. This isn't the best quality picture, my flash didn't work.

Getting ready to collect the goods.

William is a Sea Otter, so dang cute. It's his real first experience with the Halloween thing. It was so much fun to watch him get into it. He did well. This had to be one of the funnest Halloween's I've had in many years. I loved every minute of it. Oregonians know how to do Halloween.



Cordie had to capture her little Otter on the beach.



Before coming with us to Oregon Cordie took picutes of her children in their costumes.  Of course Will the Sea Otter, Olivia the Pirate, and Ian is a Star Wars character called a Clone Trooper.



Sweetest Pirate you'll ever meet.

I wish we could of had Ian and Olivia with us in Oregon. It's tough to not be with all the grandchildren. But they did have fun with Michael and cousins.
