"Yachats 2009"

We have started a tradition (2nd year) of going to Yachats Oregon for the annual hot rod car show. Grandma and Grandpa Mary go too and they do their thing with all of their car club friends. I am not at all interested in the cars, but love the view, the company, wine, the beach, the condo's we stay in and well, just love it there.

This is the view from our balcony. So enjoyable. Friday we took the kids out of school in the afternoon and headed to Yachats. What a beautiful day, sun was shining and it was warm. This was my Friday evening. Sun was setting, kids were playing, had my glass of wine and was enjoying the the warm sun.....................

I have a similar picture of the kids from last year.....

Nicole took her friend Raelyn. She is a great girl. Funny and goofy just like Nicole. They had a great time and laughed the entire weekend.

This was my plan for the entire weekend. Hanging out reading magazines and going to the beach. I think I only got 3 pages read. ha ha! Our friends Mark and Becky and their kids came over on Saturday and us adults went to the casino (don't even remember which one cause I'm not much of a gambler, but we gotta keep the guys happy!). Grandparents were watching the kids. We didn't leave them home alone...... I made fresh homemade salsa and guacamole. Becky and I were happy as can be with that and our wine!

Went we got back we took the kids to the beach. Becky and I had a great time watching the kids play, taking tons of pictures, talking about how much they have all grown and how much we enjoy the beach.

The girls wanted to go into town and go shopping but we were down on the beach longer than we thought and then when we got back to the condo they all went swimming in the pool.

This is my favorite picture taken all day. The girls were hilarious and silly. It took a few shots to get them both in the air. Darling teenage girls...................love them...............

Me and Becky.

Here is our gang............cutest kids ever! Nicole, Ali, Grace, Tyler, Rae, Luke........

Nicole and Gracie look like they could be sisters! and so photogenic. Grace loves Nicole like a big sister :)

The clouds came in on Saturday night and it rained. What is better than being at the coast listening to the rain and then the next day it is beautiful and sunny?
Me and Tyler. They all (except Nicole and Rae) wanted to just "wade" in the ocean. Before we know it they were all soaked! That's part of being a kid at the beach. Sand in your underwear and freezing because you went into the ocean fully dressed. ha ha!

Gorgeous girls...........

I love Yachats. And love that we have started another tradition with our kids. The weekend was lovely and we had a great time visiting with our friends and the kids and got some awesome pictures and great memories.
