July 19 through 23, 2008

Saturday 19th~~~ We drove to the beach house today to spend a few days with Sharon's daughter Thresa, Cory and family for a few days of fun at the beach. Bodie and blaize were so excited to be at the beach, they couldn't wait to get in the sand and water. After we got settled in,Kent and Cory drove to Nehalem to bring home Chicken and Joe's for dinner. Tress brought along some embroidery work she has been wanting to work on, so she is enjoying TV and sewing while Nonnie (Sharon) is on the beach with the kids. Sunday 20~~~ The kids were up at 6:00AM this morning they were so excited to play, so we ate a big breakfast and they went shopping while Kent and Sharon went to Mass to see Father Jack! In the afternoon, we all went fishing, the lake needs to be restocked so Cory caught the only fish. The kids had fun casting their poles in and out and the picnic Tress packed was great, so it was still a lot of fun. (picture) Monday 21st~~~Today we played miniature golf and walked around town and ate ice cream and acted like the tourist do when they come to Rockaway. We had a nice BBQ dinner and later we enjoyed a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. The sunset was so beautiful tonight. (picture) Tuesday 22nd~~~ Today the kids had a lot of fun flying the kites they bought yesterday. Kent got out his stunt kite collection and tried to fly one but the wind didn't cooperate very good for him. The little kites really flew good though. Wednesday 23rd~~~ Today we are going home, Kent made waffles for breakfast and then we started cleaning house and packing up to go home. The kids stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory and at the Air Museum on the way home. We stopped at the casino and ate lunch and played the slots for a short time.We all had a great time but the time always goes too fast when you are at the beach,
