  • For Duty and Humanity!

    We went to the beach for Rachel's and John John's birthdays last Saturday.


    I asked my mom to get us some Mountain Dew, and she brought home a 36 pack!


    John John wanted a whip, and Matthew cut the ends of his to make a horn. (Although it wasn't very loud.)



    That is where we went crabbing.




    (John John doesn't always play very nice with the other children.)



    Crabbing is fun!



    Yay, more crabbing!



    I found them 3 water bottles to put the crabs in.






    Building the fire...

    Rachel and I were very helpful. Sara just didn't take pictures of all the wood we hauled back for them.







    Rachel's "Good Job" sign for Matthew for making the fire.



    We roasted hot dogs for dinner...



    ...and crabs for dessert!



    Apparently Rachel didn't like dessert.



    Our cheesecake. We forgot to bring the forks and knife, so at first we just bit off it. Then Matthew got his knife out 'cause the crust didn't particularly want to come off.



    John John was playing blacksmith with a spoon Matthew found on the beach. The spoon is know flat.

    I'm BACK!

    Beth got the great idea of going to the beach, so Saturday morning we all loaded up the van and headed for the coast!



    Our first stop along the way


    Our second stop.
    Beth and Rachel wanted to know just how deep the muck was.




     

    The Octopus Tree!











    Awww! They're bonding.


    Tryin' out a new hairdo, Kitty?



    Our picnic lunch...






    Anna and I made some new friends!


    It turns out the poor lil guys are homeless!



    We were all having such a wonderful time.







    We made it in time for sunset!





    Dinner at The Holy Bell...




    This one had a play area. Score!




    Rachel wanted to play too, but she's too big. =p

    He's BACK!



    That's right, Jamie came back for another visit last month. (For those of you who may not know who Jamie is he's a family friend from Las Vegas, NV. I've known him half my life. We kinda grew up together.) It was twice the fun and, unfortunately, half the time. But we made the most it!
    Here's a peek inside my fully mean, random, and downright crazy week.




    You can't really tell, but Bethy's actually hanging on that sign. (She's a bit energetic.)





    This was taken at a look out point. It was way way windy!
    (From left to right:
    Back: Big, Bethy, John John, Matthew
    Front:Me, Rachel, Jamie-I can't believe he's not wearing a sweatshirt.)



    This was at the Vista House Lookout. -Still VERY windy
    (Kitty, Me, Jamie, Matthew, John John, Rachel, Big)



    ...windy, windy, wind...


    They should call this the Windy Vista House.
    (John John, Kitty, Jamie (his head, anyways), Matthew, Rachel, Me, Big)


    Bethy has quite the sense of adventure...



    (No explanation required.)


    Somewhere along the gorge(ish) place that we were driving...


    Same Place
    (Me, Jamie, Rachel, Big, Matthew, Kitty, John John)


    Still the same place...
    (Back: Bethy, Big, Matthew
    Front: John John, Rachel, Kitty, Jamie)


    This is at the very, tippy TOP of Multnomah Falls! WHEW! What a hike! Over a mile of steep, up-hill switch backs lead by The Merciless Slave-Driver (AKA Matthew).
    (Me, Rachel, Big, Kitty, Matthew, John John, Jamie)


    Same Place
    (Same-except we added Bethy)


    The Merciless Slave Driver only stops when he gets to goof off...
    (Kitty, John John, Jamie, Matthew)



    ......
    (Kitty, John John, Jamie-This is on the way down Multnomah Falls, btw.)





    ...SEE?! See, I told you!
    (Kitty, Matthew, John John)



    Goofing off AGAIN...
    (Rachel, Me, Kitty, Jamie Son, Matthew, John John, Bigness)



    ...and AGAIN...
    (Kitty, Jamie, Matthew, John John)





    Waiting in line to buys tickets for a movie...
    (Jamie, Matthew, Kitty, Rachel, John John (behind and between achel and I), Me, Big)
     

    Bethy had too much fun with the camera while we were waiting for the movie...

    (Left going from back to front: John John, Matthew, Big,
    Right: Kitty, Me, rachel, Jamie)

    (Rachel and John John went to see if the movie was playing yet. That's why they didn't have the pleasure of a personal photo op like the rest of us.)


    JAMIE SON!

     
    me


    Kitty


    Matt


    Bigness! (Always ready for a photo!)

    Well that's all I have for now which is probably a good thing because I should go back to bed so that I might be able to function later this morning. (Yes, I only wrote this post because I couldn't sleep, but I needed to write about his trip anyway.)

    GOODNIGHT!...morning?...sweet dreams.

About Me

  • I've devoted my all to GOD. I love studying his word, fellowshipping with fellow believers, and playing my violin. I also enjoy reading, riding horses, riding motorbikes, serving others, talking to people online, shooting guns, and playing cribbage. I like knives, tigers, and anything that's loud and fast.
