Father's Day

For Father's Day, Brian just wanted to go down the the Oregon Coast. We rented the great little house my sisters and I had stayed in, in Depoe Bay. We headed down and went straight to Neskowin. After 12 years of going to the coast together, we had never made it to this beach. It was such a wonderful spot. It had a little 'river' heading into the ocean. The kids were able to play in the water and rocks without their parent's worrying they would be swept out to sea....

I hope to go back to this spot with all the cousins when Kiran is up in July.


One of the views at Neskowin


Daddy's little girl. She didn't want to walk on the sand for about the first fifteen minutes.

Neskowin - this beach is actually pretty tucked in and thus not too windy.

At the beach house, there were some shells. Grace could not get over hearing the sound of the ocean!! She just kept saying, "I hear ocean, I hear ocean!" She was genuinely soooo surprised!

Treasures found....

Depoe Bay the next day. We were at the observatory and Bri was pointing out all the boats.

The Bridge in Depoe Bay. The boats have to go under this bridge to 'park'

The courtesy baby seal we saw in the bay.

A great Father's Day Weekend. These children are truly blessed to have such an involved Dad. One who reads to them almost every night. One who loves to take them out in his boat, take them for walks with Cassy, go to all their School functions, sports games, and practices that he possibly. One that tries to put pony-tales in their hair. One that teaches them to throw a ball, ride a bike, and be kind to those in need. One that leaves work early just to go to a Dr's apt they have. One that makes it a priority to go on Christmas dates with his daughter....

To date all the Chapter Books (I can think of) that Brian has read to the kids:

Charlott's Web

Treasure Island

The Hardy Boys

Nancy Drew

Wind and the Willows

Winn Dixie

The Last of the Really Great Wangdoodles
