Ya know, when you've had such a LONG, COLD, RAINY spring and finally get some semblance of actual summer weather and decide to head to the coast for the weekend with friends--well things can get a little CRAZY!
This past weekend, dear hubby and I decided to give the coast another shot--and this time we went with some friends (as well as dear daughter & her family) just to see if the change of scenery (and the change of faces) would be an improvement.


As you can tell from the photos---the weather was so HOT--we had to wear shades!

It really was quite nice to bask in the sun and burn ourselves to a crisp.

I actually managed to get into the ocean water with my lil' grandsons. 'But wait!' I can hear you say. 'Isn't the ocean along the Oregon coast EXTREMELY cold?'
My answer: YES it is! But once the hypothermia sets in--you don't feel a thing!

The boardwalk at Seaside was full of fun and activities and Sam & Max enjoyed the Carousel ride.


Meanwhile, one of our friends was extremely baffled at what in tarnation that 'big yellow ball-thing' was up in the sky. . . (it had been usually covered up most of the time by clouds and a thing referred to as 'overcast')

Rest assured, that he finally figured out it was indeed THE SUN--and we all enjoyed it immensely this past weekend.

Thanks to our wonderful friends who hosted us and put up with all our 'antics'!


WE WUV YOU GUYS!

Looks like fun! We didn't do anything for the 4th. Went to see a movie and swam a lot but no family was in town with us! The kids were asleep by 8:30 pm so we even got out of taking them to fireworks!! Don't I sound like a great mom!! I like the footage of J setting off his "firework". That was pretty funny. It seems weird that he is the only one still at home.
Hi Dee!
I know what you mean--it DOES seem weird that J is the only one at home now--but come the 31st of this month and his Norwegian-living brother will be joining him for the rest of the summer and fall. . .
And he's ALSO a pyro-freak--so I'm expecting my house to burn down at some future point!
