We spent the day at the Coast!

Here in Oregon... Eugene that is ... we have been having rainy weather-- which is somewhat common for this area-- but we have also had hail, spots of snow and thunder storms. Even the true natives have been looking for a new more positive weather report.   The kids Jerry and I had not been on a car trip in the new Tahoe yet...  We had two nice days of weather, and I really....really wanted to get away! Finally we decided that we would drive to Florence watch the movie RANGO and then play a bit and then come home.
The drive was GREAT... the  Tahoe is way better at passing cars then I would of thought-- The movie... it was cute & and fun but some of the scenes were predicable and "borrowed" from other movies.


I saw this sign at Mo's -
- I was hoping that the kids
 would take it's message to heart! --

I love my Jessica!




Jerry and Jessica... I told Jerry this could be his SENIOR picture... he could use it when he retires! :)
I was JUST teasing!

"enjoying the car ride?"



Shane found a random piece of wood and
 was trying to sand board down the sand dune!





Who are you taking a picture of ???

 The beach... it was LOVELY.... The weather was sunny with a bit of clouds and clear-- not much wind .

Shane did have some moments while we were at the Coast-- his  ears didn't seem to be working very well-- both Jerry and I had to be loud and insistent with Shane.  I realize that he was enjoying the moment and the enviorment -- but his lack of response to our directives was very challenging.

Jessica and the horizon!

Shane reading, nicely and quietly while on the drive!




Still mad at having to leave.
