For the ninth year in a row we went to the Oregon coast to play in the sand. All of Julie's family and a lot of friends make it a great trip.

This has become a standard picture of Johnny and me.

Mommy and Will on a hill overlooking the beach.


Of all the family pictures taken this last week, I like this one the most. Not because it's good, but because it's awesomely bad. We are just a couple arm shelf's, and a tree lean from making it into
AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com .

Like every year we were lucky enough to stumble onto some old pirate treasure of stick on tattoos, candy, and plastic swords. This time the poparazzi found us. That TMZ has photogs everywhere.

Grandpa John showing Charlie how to play the "Girl repellent". Actually we had a lot of fun sitting around the camp fire listening to grandpa John play the accordion and uncle John play the guitar.

Grandma Diane has a real talent for reading to the kids.

Johnny had fun riding this skateboard. I know this because he ran over his own fingers 3 times before he asked for a band aid.
I have been going through a "textures" kick lately. Here are a few pics from the week.
