Rockaway


“Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone.”

A week at the beach. No worries, no work, just our feet in the sand. Life is good!!
Brandy found us a great house to rent in Rockaway Beach, OR. I think this might have been our first full family vacation (the only one missing was our sweet baby brother, but he sent his fiance to represent!) and I think we were all a little apprehensive about how we'd do all together for a whole week. I'm so thrilled to report that we had the absolute best time ever!

Grandpa Jerry played wii
Jenny and Jack were marine biologists
Charlie Knuckles kept us all laughing
Garry got his oysters
Jenny got tired of Colton's you-know-what
Terry snored the kids right out of the basement
The food, the food oh my goodness the food
Grandpa tipped over in the chair on the beach
The ocean tried to eat Jenny and Colton
The wind blew and blew but it couldn't blow us off the beach
Brandon and Colton find out just how cagey Grandpa is
Jenny tried...to skim board...she tried
Nights of family games
The kite man...go Elmo
How many movies can two teenage boys watch
