Oh, the places you will go......

Hello!

a recap of a short vacation down to Cannon Beach and the Oregon coast...shall we???
my FAVORITE barn in Pacific County..I guess, just because its soooo awesome to see..you know, going 65 down the highway..


I tried to get a photo of him singing to me..nope, not here!!

I'm busted, now he knows what I was doing, so.....
no more singing..

ebb and flow of the tidewaters along the way...just gorgeous.

mini peeps..great travelers, although in this photo, you see Finn..reclining. Had to turn the DVD off, because why? you ask...

BARF!!

luckily it was only a little one...don't worry...he rebounded well.

peek-a-boo!!

(its a long drive, people)

I have to occupy my time..the kids get tired of my singing, so....

Hello Astoria..beautiful hilltop city just on the other side of the Columbia River...

Honey, did we drive to the East Coast?

oh, no...Gearhart.....Oregon..pure magical homes, you know

THO$E kind of HOME$$$$$

Aren't they gorgeou$$?

and quaint and perfectly

perfect?

I knew you all would agree...

Look at that fence and the rocks and the flowers...

oh, hell..what about the HOUSE!!!

I do so love it when people

"get it"

I get it, but...I cant afford it..you know?!

sigh!!

dreamy, no?

C'mon, somethings gotta give here....

lets stop for a bite, okay.. Here we are at Pacific Way Cafe, again in Gearhart...

now the kiddo s want to get to the FUN!!!

and as soon as we get there, in perfect timing the eldest mini peep mocks his mother with the

"look mom, no hands"

AND

the eye roll, although I could only get this photo, as I had to

HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE!!!

oh, I mean....take a photo of myself on the carousel..sorry..

someone was having a lot of fun!

isn't she adorable?

Oh, and theres my mom waving to her adoring fans...

HI mama!!

Here we are at the end of the Lewis and Clark trail..

They came for the corn dogs and the bumper cars....

(can you see the statue at the end down there)

Eldest mini peep LOVES the rides here at Seaside...

I call them the barfo-rama..tilta whirl...

--and I do not ride..
don't worry..he makes his own fun..AND tortures his father into going..sometimes.

(isn't he getting HANDSOME?? growing up!!)

Here are my love love loves....
The grey ladies of Cannon Beach standing at attention on the oceans edge.

sorry, this is all for today. I will try more later, still gimping along with a horrible Kodak program who wants to give me nothing but grief.

Hope everyone is well and happily enjoying their last weeks of

Summer-time, summer-time..

sum sum summertime!!
