Daniel is 10!

Here a just a few pics from Daniel's 10th birthday. It was a very fun day! We had mexican food at lunch and then spent the afternoon at Putters Miniature Golf and arcade.

Daniel waits patiently while we sing. The neighbors came over to share the cake!

Bandon Vacation

We've returned from a fabulous vacation to the Oregon Coast. We spent 2 nights camping in yurts at Bullard's Beach State Park. We had so much fun! Yurts look a little like Indian tepees. Inside, they are outfitted with a bunkbed and a futon, and most importantly, a heater!
We rode bikes along the coast up to the lighthouse. The weather was beautiful, in the low 70's. Here are just a few pictures from the trip.

The Umpqua lighthouse is barely visible in this picture.
