OUR VACATION TO CAPE DISSAPOINTMENT STATE PARK
June 29-July 5, 2007
camped in a fifth wheel for a week.

Sunset on Long Beach




Video of Daddy teaching TJ some tricks with tides.


Mommy with her coffee cup. I made espresso everyday for us. That is the beauty of having a fifth wheel with all the hookups....ahhh eletricity and a working toilet!!!



The boys taking a walk on the beach. They all have their little sticks.




Chelle on the horse named, Sister. I had so much fun but had hard time walking afterwards.




Mykal and TJ on horse getting ready to head out for our 1/2 hour beach ride.


Tim taking pictures of our butts in front of the Cape Dissapointment Light house. There were many, many ship deaths in this area until they put the light house up.

Heading up the trail to the light house...I have my stick to fend off bears and cougars or to poke the kids in the back so I can get a head start running back down the trail. HAHAHAHA.



Mykal and TJ head off the trail for a picture opportunity.




Mykal jumped off table in the picture below so TJ wanted a picture of him jumping off the cooler in the picture above. My kids the super action copy cats.


Mykal jumps....

TJ poses, (not willingly) on the Long Beach Boardwalk.




Out on the jetty, watching waves hit the rocks.




TJ is mad at me because I won't let him climb out any further on the rocks or stand up and jump from rock to rock.


Portrait of a father/son moment.








Digging a hole to china


Getting close to china?


Look TJ FITS in the hole!!


Mykal has the bright idea to bury TJ in the sand. TJ falls for it!!



TJ is buried up to his neck....Mykal is about to get his revenge for all the little bugger things TJ did to him!! HAHAHAHA.

Mykal is teaching TJ how to start a fire while Tim sleeps in the background. What a hard vacation he is having.




Me and the boys pose for posterity in front of Long Beach.




Mykal and TJ just chillin'


Mykal and TJ playing in the sand as the sun begins to set.


TJ checks out the beach at low tide.


First thing TJ does is find a snail and makes it his friend.




TJ writes his name in the sand.




Mykal finally gets his marshmellow toasted just right, (after about 20 tries).


Dad teaches the boys how to make a smore. Graham cracker, chocolate and marsmellow and then ya MASH it like this...



Tim entertains us with after dinner guitar playing.

What great pics. I could almost hear the sounds and smell the scents of the ocean.
Michelle, have you lost some weight? You look fabulous, but then, I'm really prejudiced: I have always thought you are beautiful!
Mykal, when did you get to be so tall? T.J., you are still the cutest blond in the family! Tim, no offense. You're gorgeous too.
Wonderful pictures.
