"Yachats 2010............."

Ahhh........Yachats...............one of my favorite places. Ever.............
This is our 3rd annual trip for the car show.. It always falls over LeRoy's birthday weekend in September.
We've had so much going on I'm just now getting to posting the pictures!!!!! This place is amazing. So quaint and nostalgic. Reminds me of the movie set of Dirty Dancing.
And the kids can run around and they are safe and had a blast.
The kids had so much fun running around looking at all the cars. I took a pic of this car because it matched Gracie's shirt. hahahhaaaa..... Mark made fun of me..........actually.......he picked on me all weekend..........that's ok cause I busted his chops all weekend right back........Mark, you really should be nice to me...........
My boys........
Weather was gorgeous. This really is our kids down on the beach at sunset. Amazing.
My son never misses the opportunity to goof around. I love that about him. He hung out with the Geritol older group all weekend. hahahaa.....He stayed downstairs with Gma and Gpa Mary all weekend. I hardly saw him at all!!
Me and my man...........
My favorite car............
LeRoys birthday fell on Friday so we went out to the Adobe in Yachats to celebrate! (Mark, ummmm........the restaurant isn't in Waldport................just sayin'..................) Happy Birthday Big Poppa!!!!
This is a very random pic.........Thanks Becky...............I was sober................well, kind of...........I tried the Pitron tequila but I really was just being silly and goofy..............And this kids were downstairs at the party for 60+ year olds. Not kidding. We were the boring ones upstairs. The real-deal was going on downstairs at Gma and Gpa Mary's place. I think Tyler was the bouncer. I hope he charged a cover for everyone coming in. At one point I went down, and came right back up. Too much crazy for me. Nice place for the kids to hang.......Whatever...........We could see and hear most of what was going on from our balcony..........I assumed Gma and Gpa were in charge.
This is the only picture I got of the girls. They were being silly. They totally did their own thing. Ate and slept and went on a run down by the ocean............I hardly saw my kids all weekend!

The boys drinking beer on the beach. Is that legal? I'm hoping it was noon already????
So Becky's kids were my adopted kids for the weekend. Since mine igored me. hahaha.. Luke was so sweet......We were down by the beach watching the sun set and having wine and he said "Aunt Missy, can I give you a hug?" Sweetest words ever to hear from a kid........

Becky and I enjoyed the sun, watching the kids play and run around, wine, the beach and just sitting out on the balcony and visiting...........oh................and more wine..........................hahahaa
Gracie was my little shadow all weekend. She followed me everywhere I went...........She's a cutie.
The town of Yachat's is behind us. Such a quaint little town. We went to all the shops and the bakery to get LeRoy fresh baked cupcakes for his birthday........

Mark and Becky.........
I think we have pics like this from last year!!! And hope to have some of the same next year. I love Yachats............
I was getting ready on Sunday and walked out on our balcony and freaked out when I saw this car. It wasn't there on Saturday. I wanted to drive it home! It's my Thelma and Louise car!!
Who wouldn't want to drive this? The boys laughed at me cause they love the loud, muscle cars. I love the cute yellow wagon with the surfboard on top...............

And this is the kind of car the boys like. Loud. Fast. Expensive..........

"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.
